Besides just making your water garden look beautiful, native aquatic plants play a vital role in creating a healthy, balanced ecosystem in ponds. They create excellent habitat for small fish, frogs, insects, and other wildlife. Plants maximize oxygen levels in the water and reduce excessive ammonia levels. Their complex root systems help keep the water clean by filtering pollutants and nutrients from the water. The shade they provide reduces algae growth and allows fish to hide from predators. They also provide food for koi, goldfish, and the larvae of many aquatic insects. Here are some of our favorite native plants to use on water features here in Michigan!
