i put mine in pots , don't want Susan's problem. i don't have crap , but the turtles kept digging them up when i first planted them. i used pea gravel in the pot and they just dug them up. i took flat rocks and covered the pot , leaving only the crown exposed , once they got started and rooted in , i removed the rocks. i fertilize them in the spring and cut them completely back in the fall. the fish just lovem
