Plants
You and I both know that the summer heat is torturous and feels like a sauna. Where would we be without air conditioning or even shade, but imagine your poor fish. What can you do to make them more comfortable in this Missouri summer heat? Add plants to your water garden! Waterlilies provide shade because their pads float on the surface of the water, practically becoming a parasol for your fish. Marginal plants placed on the shallow shelf of your water garden naturalize the edge and provide even more shade for your fish. As an added bonus some marginals bloom and can add beauty of your water garden, plus they pull out excessive nutrients from the water, competing with algae. Come and check out our plants selection-your fish will thank you.

Fish
Fish are a delight to any water garden. They consume those pesky mosquitoes and love to be fed, becoming your children and grandchildren's' favorite pets. They will become the star of your show and your guests will love them. Watching your fish can actually lower blood pressure and who doesn't need a calmness in this stressful world! The common goldfish is called a comet and comes in orange, white, and bronze. Catch our sale this week for some natural de-stressers.

Ponds
Keep ponds well aerated this summer. Both your fish and plants use the water's oxygen so replenishing the supply is a must, plus it helps prevent those annoying mosquitoes from moving into your water garden. Waterfalls oxygenate your water garden and provide a peaceful setting. As with fish, waterfalls produce a calming effect, letting you have the right type of summer-a stress free one.

Notice what Aquascape Inc. has to say about tropical water lilies.

Why Choose Tropical Water Lilies

Aquascape 

June 10, 2016

Tropical water lilies are referred to as “tropicals” because of their dislike for cold weather. Like annual plants in your garden beds, tropical water lilies die off in the winter and need to be replaced the following pond season. Even so, there are many benefits to choosing tropical water lilies for your pond.

• Tropical water lilies are available in the same color as hardies, but they’re also available in blues, purples, and violets … exceedingly rare colors in the entire water plant spectrum.
• They are intensely fragrant with a pleasing and pervasive aroma, which immediately causes anyone standing within a few feet to be swept up in olfactory heaven.
• The flowers rise 6 to 12 inches above the water, giving the plant a three-dimensional effect.
• The flowers are much larger than the flowers of most hardy water lilies.
• Tropical water lilies are available in both day and night-blooming models.
• The plants can get rather large and showy. 
• Their long stems make them an excellent choice for cut flowers.
• The leaves on some varieties can be mottled and streaked with purple, deeply toothed, deeply veined undersides, and can easily attain diameters of 15 inches. 
• Tropical water lilies bloom much more profusely than hardies, with three to five blooms open on most days during warm weather. 

Other than the obvious downside of annual mortality and the additional expense associated with yearly replacement, there is little reason not to enjoy a tropical water lily in your pond. The cost is probably less than what you spend on flats of marigolds and petunias!
