Those which are moderately tolerant and, therefore, a wiser choice might be: begonias, English ivy, geraniums, azaleas and rhododendrons, hibiscus, balsam fir and oddly enough, Kentucky bluegrass. Now remember...when I say they are moderately tolerant, I still mean for you Almost all plants will suffer to some extent from chlorine damage if they are constantly splashed, but some are more tolerant than others. If you can avoid it, don‘t use hydrangea near your pool area. Other plants which are highly sensitive to chlorine damage are Japanese and other maples, nicotiana, roses, wandering jew, mahonia (Canadian holly), asparagus fern, tulips, zinnias, sedums, some lilies, Virginia creeper and some pines. Unless you like a very formal garden setting, it‘s best to try to soften the lines of the basic rectangular shape of most pools. A walkway around the perimeter of the pool will serve two useful purposâ€" es. It will distance the plants you choose to landscape with from the constant splash of chlorinated water, and it will provide easy access for cleaning the pool and walking the area for pleasure strolls in your garden. * If you‘ve recently had a backyard inground pool installed (and lucky you with this humid weather we‘re experiencâ€" ing), give some thought to how you are going to landscape around it.

Don‘t used a shade tree at the back of the yard which will eventually become huge If you still find some chlorine damage to leaves and blossoms, even with using resistant plants and planting them back from the pool, just leach the planting beds liberally with fresh water and nip off any damaged foliage. Leaching the soil in the beds will reduce the concentraâ€" tion of chlorine taken up by the roots of your garden plants. to plant them as far out of splashing range as possible.

If you need a shade tree, go for one which creates less litter, like a little leaf linden, for example. For privacy while swimming, and for a windscreen, consider planting a hedge on the edge of your yard or erect a good, high wooden fence. A hedge on the windward side has been proven to raise the temperature as much as five degrees fahrenheit.
