The edge of the pond has been softened with shade tolerant / shade loving herbaceous plants, evergreen shrubs (such as euonymus) and bog plants, including reeds, grasses, houttuynia cordata, hardy geraniums and daylilies (hemerocallis), as well as ferns, junipers and dwarf conifers, purple toadflax, palm trees, bugle plants, Japanese maples and acanthus. Beneath all of the foliage and flowers are a series of large rocks, which provide winter interest and structure to the garden pond.
