    A spiky plant for larvae to climb up

    Botumus umbellatus or acorus calamus



    A bunch of starwort or elodea for oxygenation



    Veronica beccabunga to trail around the edges



    And water forget me nots



    Check out puddle plants online or visit your local maidenhead aquatics.

    Elodea - I don't know where that is from, but the others are native.



    Edit



    Elodea is from south america. But starwort (callitriche) is native and can perform the same role.
