Wonderful decoration, and sometimes even a real work of art garden pond help to make plants that are planted around him, as well as directly in the water.

To decorate the bodies of water and coastal zones are used plants such as irises, nymphs (or water lilies), daylilies, and reeds, and various herbs.

When choosing the right place, care of plants in water is simple: you can see the overgrown grass and flowers in the current year

. Nymphs (water lilies and water lilies)

Some of the most beautiful plants for the pond. Nymphs are a variety of colors: white, pink, yellow, red and even purple and blue. The plant has a powerful rhizome and roots, which are mounted in the ground at the bottom of the pond and the water surface stretch long stems with flowers. Size flower nymphs varies from very small (dwarf water lilies) to medium and large and reach a diameter of 2 to 25 cm.

The store nymphs are sold in plastic boxes, in which plant roots are kept in water with a small amount of land. The box is 1-2 shoots. When planting the roots of the plants in this form should be immersed in water.

Depth of immersion in the water depends on the plant size: small nymphs sufficiently lowered to a depth of 30 cm, the average plant is best used in a pond with a depth of at least 60 cm Nymphaeum likes clean water, so you should regularly pond cleaning in combination with the use of special means of preserving the purity. water.

The colors of the nymphs can be admired in the period from June to September. One flower lily blooms on average 4-5 days: 8-10 am flower blooms, then around 16 o'clock closes and goes under the water. Nymphs should be planted with the onset of stable warm weather - from the end of May and continue throughout the summer. Although the cold summer weather Nymphaea, of course, will not die - it just will not bloom
