18 years ago

Hi I am kind of fron the pond forum. I am actually new all around to this site.

My qusstion is I have a pond which has lot's of rocks around it and I want to know what some goo plants are that won't "burn up" being in the full sun and planted so close, to all the rocks, and possibly touching the hot rocks.

Thanks in advance

Glenda, I have the same problem. I wish some one would post a response. I would like some suggestions, too.

Maybe you have already come up with a solution. If so, I'm interested.
