Now there was an older thread about this same thing. I had a bordelon I grew submerged in the pond display for two years. Every fall I lifted it up out of the pond and brought it in the greenhouse. You just let them get real rootbound in a large shallow pot to help the wind from tipping them over, then put them in the pond. They lose a couple of leaves at first and then they pick right up and grow. I'll try to find the picture.
Someone else on here had done it too.
