John- I was looking at the more common forms of Sag (I think the forum is calling it arrowhead) but am interested in the submerged types (possibly one of the subulatas) which have a more grass-like form. As I am in the process of moving from a zone 10 environ (outside of Malibu, Ca) to central Texas (zone 7B), I want to stay with more hardy plants until I get a better feel for the change. Thanks for all of your help � I look forward to your updates.
