We dug up some from our local seasonal creek. My wife liked to raise them in a ceramic tub up by our house. They did well and would seed out. I stripped the ripened seeds off and would sprinkle aournd the pond.
Then later the bunch she had growing up around the house she decided to quit doing it so we divided it up and planted it in the pond in numerous plaes around the perimiter. A couple places got started but never did very well.
Now a couple years later I'm starting to see various plaes are finally taking hold. Where it does well in the creek is where it dries out part of the year, then floods later. I think the pond has too constant of water level for it to flourish, but that is just a guess. At any rate I have got it started on parts of the bank of the pond. But nothing anywhere near like Robert above has it. Mine are spindly and not agressive spreaders at all............at least so far, LOL.
The pond continues to surprise me though over they years, so who knows.
Edit: Funny thing is, I have several places of it started in my one acre RES/SMB pond and we never put seeds nor planted sets there. Had to be brought in by wildlife and started on its own. Where we purposely planted it was in our main 3 acre pond.
