Kim, Mine is in full sun most of time also. They don't  seem to mind.   I don't know if it is because they are in water all the time. Maybe someone else would know. The ones behind the garage get quite a bit of shade.

Very nice!

I just love them but I did not put any in the pond this year.  In past seasons, long about August, I start getting leaks.  I believe that the roots are getting so packed under the rocks and the plants so large that they divert water out of the stream on the sides.  I am trying a test this year.  I did not put any in and I will see if I still have the problem.  If not, I will know.  Guess I will have to find a different way to have them in the pond if I can't put them bare root in the stream.

Wow, very nice in and out of the water. I too quit putting them in my stream as they got too big and diverted water out of the pond.

Impatiens require way too much water in dirt.  I quit planting any plant that requires that much water but in a stream or bog I'm sure they would love it.

It looks like your getting ready to get some blooms on that Lotus, that bud looks like its about ready to pop open.

Kim, I always plant impatiens, and guess what I found this year!  Impatiens for sun, they are pale pink.  They are called Fanfare Sun Impatiens.
