re: Must have pool features

For color, I like knock out roses as they provide year around color with relatively low maintenance but they do have thorns so their placement has to be out of the way of heavy traffic areas.

Same issue as the knockouts, but Crown of Thorns succulents (Euphorbia milii) in corten planters makes for great low maintenance near pool landscaping with some color.

Sago palms can be a pain for other reasons, but work really well near pools due to the low maintenance and not dropping seeds/fronds.
