Look for some good plants for around a swimming pool. No litter. Will take pool water splashing?

Answer 1

No litter is always a must by the pool. Also nothing sharp. (no firethorn! tee hee)

a few trees, shrubs and perennials....
schefflera.
musa.
ferns (tree type)
fatsia.

camella.
pittosporum dwarf.
hibiscus.

dietes.
daylily
cast iron plant.
lily turf.
canna.

I have a rather long list of pool plants that is far to long to list here. contact ne and i'll fax you a copy.

Answer 2

there are many tropicals that do well without the littering, ask your local gardening supplier.

any trees that have a habit of shedding its pollen or seeds or leaves is not a good idea, since this type of atmosphere could turn your pool water green, yellow, black.

there are those few customers that acutally have quite a bit of no-no plants around their pool, but they also keep up with the pools maintenance and know how to operate the filter system.

Answer 3

Daylillies are a very hardy plant. Sedums are another good choice. Both aren't fussy about soil requirements and can take some pool water.

Answer 4

I recommend succulents. If they will grow in your area. They don't drop leaves, they can take the pool water, need little care and always look nice by adding texture to the garden.

Answer 6

Sedums and succulents would not do well. They can go along time with little water. Too much water and they will rot.daylilys would do well.
