The green and white-stripped leaves makes Manna Grass a very interesting plant to put in the pond. Actually it is not a true pond plant but a land plant that likes moist soil and adapts to water if not set too deep. Keep the pot so the water just barely covers the surface of the pot. Hardy to zone 5.  Manna grass would also be a good plant to grow in the wet areas around the pond.
