How do I grow emergents?

I am planning to grow a number of plants that want wet feet but are not aquatic - such as Acorus, Asclepias incarnata, Lobelia cardinalis, etc, plus starting some buttonbush plants. To that end I have bought a tub at a DIY store, about 3 feet in diameter and 6 to 8 inches deep. Which is better - growing them in pots placed in the tub, or putting a planting medium directly in the bottom of the pool? What planting medium should I use?

Also, I am looking for a source for Pontederia.
