Plants and flowers can instantly add a festive feel to the fountain space. You can use real or artificial, depending on the purpose of the display. If you choose artificial plants and flowers, make sure you choose ones that won’t be affected by humidity. If you choose real flowers and plants, make sure that you take the sunlight near your fountain into account so you choose plants that can thrive near the fountain. Potted plants, such as hens and chickens, can cover the ground space near the fountain for an Old West theme. Poinsettias are a great addition to a fountain that is the center of a winter holiday display. Bold flowers like bachelor buttons, zinnias, and other colorful options can be used for summer holiday displays. For example, blue bachelor buttons, white baby’s breath, and red tulips could be arranged to create a patriotic display for the Fourth of July, Veteran’s Day, or Memorial Day.Â
