There usually is. poppysue Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) June 14, 2004 09:48 PM Post #910222 Ulrich, It's because this picture was added before Dave had incorporated the link back to the PDB into the forum. This picture is an oldie ;o) ParisPats Tucson, AZ September 14, 2007 07:45 PM Post #3976174 Will the Umbrella Plant (Cyperus alternifolius) grow well in the ground suppported with a drip system adjacient to a chlorinated pond ??

No water feature, just water hose and plenty of sunshine. It overwinters in the ground just fine. Zone 7B here. "eyes"
