I suggest you don't start the pond until all of the leaves have fallen. Leaves will get in the pond eventually, but waiting until the leaves have fallen this year will at least mean it does not start off with leaves.
Others will know better, but it may be possible to get a pond at least partly filled with rain water if it was started in January.
You mention the Yellow flag - a great plant. We have one in pond, but it is going to have to be removed. It is close to 7 feet tall, measured from the bottom of the pond and despite it being in a very large planting basket it blows over very easily. However, your pond and location may mean you can accommodate it. |
