Re: Thalia dealbata (powdery alligator flag)
Bump-
My Thalia in the pond has done so well that it has escaped the pot and is growing throughout the pond (stones over liner). When I tried gentle pulling to remove it, found it was well anchored. My fear is that it is growing through the liner. If I yank it out, I'm afraid it will tear the liner. Other plants in the pond are also all in pots, and have not escaped their confines. I also have fancy goldfish and koi. Any suggestions? Thanks.
edit- BTW, I leave it out through the winter after cutting the stems, and it obviously does well.
