I guess I'm getting in on this one a little late, but I still have this plant if you want some.   I just trimmed out about everything and Phil has first dibs when it grows back, but it's easy to get going.

If you want some still, let me know. I figure you are a little busy to worry about it. No big deal, I've had it for 2-3 years now. I'm probably never going to toss it. I like it.

So, when are you doing your pond? It is a good marginal with pleasant flowers.

I got my hands on a few stems a few weeks after I
first posted this here.

Now I've got tons of this!
