In the wild and when planted in a pot of soil in a pond - Radican Sword
becomes a large emergent plant similar to Water Plantains - Plantago sp.
There is another "hardy" species- Echinodorus berteroi that is
interesting in its own way if not as showy as cordifolius. It may be
even hardier ranging as far north as Ohio!
