Pond plant from Lidl

Hi Eileen - I had these last year - it's a water hyacinth - did you know they're not hardy? If we have any frosts you need to bring it indoors. I put mine in the greenhouse over winter, but it was so cold it froze in there too and none survived :-( They look good in the pond tho - my fish loved to hide among the roots :-)

aw Sid , thanks for that , there was nothing about it on the pot it came in.

Thats lovely.

thanks GT

Yes Irish it does look like a Water Hyacynth and like Sid says they are not hardy I lost all mine, but hope yours does welll!

glad of the warning PP, ill let you know how i get on with them

Yes such a shame as they spread like crazy all about to bloom then cold snap and gone .. think in more temperate zones in US known as beautiful nuisance as it blocks large rivers and waterways so no dropping it in the Liffey , Eileen !

lol as if i would BB, there would be no Guinness then

Of course - cant imagine what the sentence would be for such a crime !

Did some-one mention a pint?

Well in that case ... all goy members welcome as hundreds of square across the moors . Always welcome Eileen and Janette .. you wont go hungry thats for sure .

thanks BB, im off to iron the ground sheet, you know how fussy Janette is lol

Oh Eileen - Lol sat her having such a good chuckle presumably if you ironing the ground sheet Janette expects the ground to be flat .
