There is no doubt that  since your pond has the tropical Koi fish, you may want to maintain the theme and place Lotus plants in your pond.

Everyone with a Koi fish pond will want a Lotus plant because the beauty is simply unmatched by other flowers.

This Koi pond plant called Lotus provides beautiful blooms, as well as a smell that is unique. However, unless you live in an area that sustains temperatures higher then 65 degree Fahrenheit, you will need to have a place indoors to keep your Lotus plants during the colder months. A greenhouse setup specifically for water plants would be a great solution.

Lotus plants require soil and a lot of sunlight. These Koi pond plants  should be planted in water about 2 to 3 feet deep during the warmer months and indoors during the colder months.
