I have heard they do well in bogs, not sure about ponds, but should work if planted to the right depth in the water.

Has anyone tried these in a pond?

I have both in my pond. I put them in a floating planter. They like light, but not direct sun for long periods of time. They do really well.

Fantastic! I will do it!:cheerful:

You'll have to bring them indoors for the winter. I put mine in a small plastic aquarium with peat moss. If the aquarium doesn't have a lid, put Saran wrap or something like that over it. I add water about 3 times during the winter just to keep the peat moss moist. They will come back bigger the next Spring.
