Never heard of it. It's kinda like a teeny-weeny Hyicinths. The other in Water Lettuce. Can these keep in cold Massachusetts weather & how? TIA

Most people treat them as annuals and compost after the frost hits. They are tropical plants. I have tried to over-winter lettuce and hyacinths and the hyacinths molded then died. The lettuce made it but they stayed smaller the next year. They need warm water and a lot of bright light. frogbit Hope this helps. Gardencrazy
