Most water /bog plants I find aggressive. I started out with a small pot of rush I would lift it out every year and cut part of it away. When I got sick I missed 2 springs thinning it out and by this summer it was too heavy for me to do anything with, My husband managed to roll it up out of the watergarden. He had to chop it into 4 sections to carry it to the compost pile. I still have a few small stems that are growing out of a lily pot, which I'll have to thin out the lily next spring .

Here is a picture of the monster. I wanted to open up the view as I am starting a flower garden near the fence. The rush provided some privacy before the fence when up. My favorite spot to sit in the summer is by the watergarden.

I redid the water garden about 5 years ago when my hubby was away for 2 days, that was pond liner, small water fall , catching and releasing fish and tadpoles. LOL
