I don't buy tropical pond plants any more. I'd rather the hardy ones so
I can leave them outside all year 'round.

Do you recommend any other hardy water plants other than the classic
lilies ?
=====================
I've liked just about all of them that I've tried. My favorites are the
parrots feather, the pickerel weed, hardly water plantain, yellow and other
colored water iris, water bamboo, mini and striped cat's tail. Sweet flag
is too flimsy. The frogs keep it broken and hanging over. Lizards tail is
almost indestructible and very attractive when well grown in full sun. I
also have a Lotus in a 100g pool of it's own. Lotus will take over a pond
if they can. These are their common names. I would have to look up their
latan names if you need them.
