A small piece of this plant was potted with a pond plant that I bought. The nursery wanted to pull it from the pot, but I told her that I...Read More wanted it. I transplanted it to it's own pot and barely submersed the pot in my pond. It grew like crazy! I cut it back repeatedly and tossed the cuttings into my garden. Needless to say it sprouted in my garden! The red color of the leaves is a beautiful contrast to my other plants, but it can get out of control. By mid-summer it completely took over, I just keep cutting it back. It over winters well here, even with a cold winter that we had. I like this plant for it's color, but I think I'll put it where I don't mind it taking over. Grows well in pond and in the garden.
