THE FOLLOWING ARE AQUATIC PLANTS THAT WE HAVE FOUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN PHOENIX, AZ AND HIGH PH WATER CONDITIONS (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):
Aquatic Butterfly Bush
Bushy to 2’ tall. Spreads aggressively to 4’ wide. Once mature, tends to develop rot in the middle where water circulation is cut off to the root zone. Moderately easy to remove the rot zone and once water flow is established thru the plant it tends to recover quickly. Make sure all the rot is removed or it will continue to rot. Great plant for attracting queen and monarch butterflies! Fast and easy to grow. Will grow in pond edge or even faster in moving water. |
Canna (spp.); Red, orange or yellow
Tall element with great summer blooms. Great for pond margins! Good tall and thick screen plants. Tall, thick, element for background planting. Grows in 6” margin shelves and in well watered and improved garden soil. You can use the cannas from any nursery. Just clean the mulch off the stolons and plant into the gravel margins. |
Orange Tropical Milkweed
Great color! A tropical plant that seems to do well in desert ponds. Will grow in streams or ponds and seems willing to naturalize into the adjacent landscape as well. Monarch caterpillars will chew it up in the late summer and fall. Please allow it, the plant will come back and Monarch butterflies are an important, and endangered species! |
