That's it, gorgeous.

It survives winter, but does it die back to the water when frost or
freezes occur?

It dies back.... and seems to have a hard time coming back if left
submerged. It is currently growing well in a couple of the blocks that
surround the lily pond. I'm thinking of digging in the pots I currently
have in water instead of leaving them in the pond, see what happens.

mine spilled over onto the ground and it is the first thing out of the
ground in spring.. like with the daffs and tulips. I had some in a
free standing filter and long after everything else frosted out this
stuff was going great guns. it is very hardy. Ingrid

Will it overwinter in northern areas like New York? Also does anyone know of
a web site where I can buy some. I've looked for it locally and have been
unable to find it.
Thanks

I have the water celery pot and dirt free in the filter. every spring
I dig some new up from the area next to the pond. and that stuff is
growing in deep shade. I have never left it out in the veggie filter
which is drained in fall. maybe I will try that. Ingrid

I have seen it advertised as varigated water celery. It isn't hardy
in
my pond here in NJ.

We have loads of water celery, complements of Bonnie in NJ about a

Want some?

Thanks, that is kind of you to offer, but forgive me if it sounds rude
of me to ask again, but what kind of plant are we talking about?

The scientific name: Vallisneria grows underwater.
The scientific name: Oenanthe javanica grows beautiful leaves above
the water. Both of these have other names also, but are commonly
called water celery.

Sorry to come in to the discussion so late, my granddaughter was
visting
and took up all my time.
The water celery that Jim and I have is Oenanthe javanica. It
survives the
winers here in NJ.
