Plants to Avoid Poolside

Plants to Avoid Poolside

Not all plants are pool-friendly — and choosing the wrong ones can lead to more maintenance, more mess, and even damage. This collection brings together plants that are best avoided near pools due to issues like invasive roots, heavy leaf or flower drop, high pollen, or a tendency to attract pests.

Whether it’s mess that clogs up filters, roots that seek out moisture, or debris that constantly needs clearing — the plants in this list are known to cause challenges in poolside settings.

Browse to find out what to steer clear of, and make smart choices that help keep your pool area clean, low-maintenance, and hassle-free.
