It seems that what was sold to me as Water Poppy has turned out to be Floating Heart…I really like it…seems very hardy:)

I have a little floating heart from @addy1 . I've struggled to keep the koi from eating it, but am encourage a small floating basket of it seems to have survived :)

I have some too also from @addy1 and it's waiting in a tub right now for the duckweed to get gone and it will go in my frog pond so fish cannot bother it. Then if I get a lot of it eventually I can put some in the big pond and hopefully the fish won't bother it when in large amounts.

The fish don't touch it, I put some in my big pond and it grew great floating with the lilies.

My fish don't bother it at all. I love this plant. Great cover and seems very hardy:)

I was just looking at ordering some water poppy. I'd rather have the floating heart since I wouldn't have to haul it inside for winter.

What are the chances I would get as lucky as you did? Might have to give it a shot.
