Here the water feature traverses the walkway in a planter treated like a lily pond. This photo illustrates that a strong sense of entry, a bridging of two zones, need not be literal.

Planting. Rills are well suited to planting marginal water plants. The shallow depth and level of water make them the perfect home for a range of marginals. Architectual plants look the most effective in the formal structure of the rill, and of these I would recommend: Scirpus tabernaemontani 'Zebrinus' (Zebra Rush)Juncus effusus 'Unicorn' (Unicorn Soft Rush)Iris pseudoacorus 'Variegata' (Variegated Yellow Flag)We can see in the raised formal rill above both architectural plants and water lilies, which not only give foliage and flower interest but also keep the water clear of pond weed such as blanket weed that can easily clog the rill. Narrow rills can be blocked with roots from overplanting or rampant root growth, so regular reducing or dividing any clumps may be required.

King Tut papyrus, shown here, is an award-winning and attractive papyrus cultivar.How to use it. Papyrus is commonly seen planted along ponds and aquatic gardens, owing to its natural habitat. Allow the plant to form a mass in order to create a soft and natural focal point alongside companion aquatic plants like water lilies (Nymphaea spp) or lotus (Nelumbo spp). Papyrus grows rapidly, so it is recommended that you plant it along large water features or plant it in a container and then put the container in the water. This will prevent the plant from taking over the pond and make maintenance easier.
