Question
I need an evergreen idea
I have a small pond with a waterfall and need some ideas for something that stays green all year,and about a foot tall to go around the water fall. It has to be able to handle full sun. I am zone 8 I think. Thanks in advance for the help. Oh I don't want to put it in the water just around to cover the base of the waterfall.
Answer
Here are a few plant ideas that might work around your pond: Dwarf Sacred Bamboo, Lilyturf, Golden Variegated Sweet Flag, Dwarf Lily Of The Nile. I like the idea of grass like plants around the pond such as Sweet Flag and Dwarf Lily of the Nile becasue they are clean, easy to care for and wont get over grown.
