Tropical and Hardy Marginals and Bog Plants

Marginals and bog plants thrive extremely well in almost any healthy water garden. Unlike water lilies, marginals are grown only partially submerged in water. These plants need to be thinned in early spring to keep them from becoming too invasive during the growing season. While the tropical plants need to be protected from the harsher temperatures of winter, hardy plants will die back in the winter and resurface in the spring.
