Default Growing Wild Rice

Do you know any

I got a few plants from a nursery in western Massachusetts; google will
likely turn something up. Planted in the margin of my 2/3 acre pond, they
have self-seeded and survived, but not to any useful extent.

IIRC, the commercial stuff has been parched, so won't sprout.
