Grew well in my pond after a few weeks. It flowers consistently from spring to autumn. The plant looks natural and adds color to the water. I removed a few damaged leaves and new ones grew quickly.
Maria Forsyth –
It survived the summer dieback and came back strong in fall. Grows well in partial shade. A bit delicate during shipping, but the new leaves regrew nicely.

Beautiful plant with long-lasting blooms. I keep it in a deep pond with full sun exposure. It stays healthy and blooms throughout the year with minimal care.
