I wish I had room here for a pond! killdawabbit Christiana, TN (Zone 6b) September 20, 2011 9:05 AM Post #8816169 I believe you could probably grow it in a large tub, though it might need frequent (meaning yearly or every other year) dividing. Mine is in a small dug out pond about 5 feet wide and about 1.5-2 feet deep. locakelly Phoenix, AZ (Zone 9a) September 20, 2011 9:20 AM Post #8816187 Wow - that is awesome!
