| I think i spelled it right lol i recently found some pickerelweed in my churchs pond and thought i would grab sime babies for my collection of water plants. I was wondering if anyone knew much about growing them in the pond and if koi will eat them or if its ok if they do eat them. Sorry i know thats severel questions. |

| I don't know if Koi will eat it, probably, as they seem to eat everything else. They will most likely pull the plants out of their pots. The link gives you growing instructions. |

| If you put it in pots that are just barely above the water surface, you should be fine. |

| I have some growing bareroot in river rock and some are in a large pot with clay soil added. The ones in the pot are bigger and greener, but they all grow well and bloom wonderfully. Neither the koi or goldfish bother them. |
