Nice water plant for shallow water.Blooms last only a day but they constantly have open flowers daily in summer.seeds readily if not kept under control.Pale blue/pink flowers.

root...just keep it in a pot as a house plant and keep barely moist till spring and back in the pool. :-)

does it have to work in slow into the water? I can't believe I've not only kept mine alive but blooming on and off all winter.

tiG increase water till you are keeping it wet then make sure that there is no more than 2" of water over the soil. Bob, I am filling our 3000 gal pool today and tomorrow.Fish go in later.The hardy waterlilies will go in later this week.I may bring a few of these to the swap in May. :-)

I did not know these grow in water! I have these all over my garden...It is pest! but the flowers are pretty...It roots also where the stems touch the dirt! Seeds...also work well...
I probably have loads of seeds!
