Aquatic Plants – Marginal Plants

Marginal plants are plants that grow around the edges or margins of a pond in shallow water. The crown and soil of marginal plants are underwater, with even some of the lower foliage being underwater as well. Typically, marginal plants are placed on planting shelves within the pond. Marginal plants are defined as those which continuously tolerate water over its crown and waterlogged soil year round. Plants which tolerate soil which is permanently moist but won’t tolerate water over the plant’s crown are considered to be marsh plants.
