It does grow tall now, about a foot out of the water (the top of the basked is about 4" below the surface) and it has bushed out above the water about 3" on all sides beyond the size of the basket. Roots have not yet penetrated the hessian lining of the basket. So it shouldn't become a problem. I cut it right back in late autumn every year as the old foliage dies. I'm pleased that your tadpoles have survived.JohnKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287357763171250125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384577046142926600.post-42708252611463041902018-04-21T19:20:38.714+01:002018-04-21T19:20:38.714+01:00Hi Fred, thank you - it is tiny but i do love it a...Hi Fred, thank you - it is tiny but i do love it already. The Caltha may spread but it is indeed in a pot -one of those aquatic ones with holes in - so i think it will be contained for a while. I guess i can always divide it eventually and give away the other half. It's a big experiment so I'm just looking forward to seeing it develop, whatever happens :)Green Fingered Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240533182819092891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384577046142926600.post-18989655159999442812018-04-21T19:17:39.623+01:002018-04-21T19:17:39.623+01:00Thank you - That's the plan!

Not as big as the wildlife pond at the Old House though i see - but much easier to make i suspect!!Green Fingered Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01240533182819092891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384577046142926600.post-53495347993189526552018-04-21T18:35:59.660+01:002018-04-21T18:35:59.660+01:00Lovely pond Mr Paul!

That should invite beneficial insects in which, in turn will bring in frogs who shall munch the slugs and snails!
