    Cabomba grows very quickly. I looks good in bunches but you have to keep trimming it. I have had it before and it grew at a similar rate as yours.

    It grows so quickly, in fact, that it is regarded as a noxious weed.

    Some unscrupulous LFS (and/or suppliers to LFS) around these parts have been known to introduce cabomba to creeks so that they can come back and harvest the stuff. You can imagine the bonus wildlife that comes with it!

    Lovely plant, though, if you make sure it's well cleaned/quarantined.
