Squirelette, if you don't mind me asking, how deep is your pond and by heating do you mean keeping a hole in the ice open? Just curious. Update - I got brave and moved my parrot's feather from the pond shelf (where it had just the bottom few inches of the pot in water) to the bottom of the pond (entire plant submerged). The stems started growing straight up and must have been longer than I thought because within two days they broke through the water surface. We'll now see what happens to the leaves along the stem which were leaves that originally sprouted above the water. Thanks for everyone's input. I love the look of the plant below and then poking through the top of the water. Regards, glen

I am in need of Parrots Feather. I am also in need of oxygenators & plants to cover the surface, to include water lilies as I have a turtle that eats my water lilies by the stem. I have Blue Pickerals & what I believe are Papyris - I can send a photo to verify what it is. I would like water lettuce, but know it is not legal in South Florida.

Kingfish, I sent you an email. Please let me know if you do not get it. Email me directly. All of the Parrots Feather has been spoken for at this time. Thanks to all the responses. Jackie

I would love some parrots feather, i have no water plants yet (just starting), but I do have shampoo ginger and a red kalanchoe (succulent) let me know if you are interested. I also have some red canna Thanks, Sheila
