Hi all
Planted a bulb about 6 weeks ago and it started off with three large lovely pink submerged leaves before sending up the typical lily pads to the surface so I initially removed them but it still sent further leaves to the surface. Its growth rate was amazing.
I've grow this before and the root system is massive so given I wanted only the nice (to me anyway) submerged leaves I pulled it out before its got too established. The strange thing was the bulb had a separate small plant with submerged leaves the larger plant was separate from it do they propagate on runners?
I've replanted the bulb with the submerged leaves do you think it will remain truly aquatic or bolt to the surface? Or any tips on controlling it and keeping growing submerged?
Any similar red/pink plants which might be a better choice.
Thanks
Andy
