Bill;
Although, I do not have siberians growing in a water pond, however, a
couple of years ago I came up with the idea of a waterless pond. I am advising
you to have a little imagination here...My idea was to create an area that looks
like a pond without actually any water. The waterless pond has a half
circle backdrop of limestone with siberians in front of the
stone. The water in the waterless pond is created by a variety of blue
pansies. I have added on top of the soil a layer of course sand, to
appear as a sandy bottom as looking through the water of pansies. This sand
helps to hold in the moisture that the siberians do love, without becoming too
wet. I have added a geranium called Splish Splash just for fun. I have a
little hippo statue which looks half submerged, like he is soaking in the
water, and also acts as a fertilizing agent. I could go on, but you
get the idea. I really enjoy the effect of the waterless pond without the water,
and others do too.
The s.
iris I used were, Shirley Pope, and Spring Brook.
Just
thought I'd share.

I have recently read a couple books saying Siberians are good water garden plants. Anyone using them in water gardens?
