Need WH.. anyone out there with extra?
 

None of the stores here have gotten any pond plants at all this year, and Home Deopt just told us that they aren;t getting any in till almost the end of JUNE! Thats 1/2 through our entire growing season here, and I need something to startup our veggie filter now.

Anyone out there able to send some? (I'm in western NC)

I quit using them, now I have water celery which overwintered here in
the pond this year, but had escaped to the dirt around pond the year
before, so I dug it up and chucked it in the pond without the fish.
It grows like crazy and the fish eat it. We thin the clump out and
throw it into the big pond with the fish and they have a feast - leave
only stems. I originally saw it in a pond at a store and they said
that is the only plant or cleaning they use in that pond. It was clear
and clean. Good purchase for us. YMMV

I think the variegated is a true marginal, as in, just keep its feet wet
please. It grows well in the blocks around my lily pond, only place I've
ever had it come back.

Water cress can be had at most grocery stores, sometimes you have to ask
and they'll order you in a case for the price of one nice pond plant. Take
those black mesh baskets, put black foam piping insulation zip tied to the
edges so it will float. Toss in water cress. It will form an island in no
time and live thru winter (Zone 7 anyway) to start anew. This is what I do
as my luck with WH ran out several years ago. ~ jan
