Hi,

Been awhile since I've posted (not even sure this will make it as I've send
several messages that I just don't see).

I have some varigated sweet flag that is now hanging over the egde of its pot
and putting out new growth from the area spanning the pot rim. What do I do
with it, cut it, let it spill into the water and make new roots and then cut it
or just leave it alone. Any and all suggestions welcome.

TIA

Hi Karen,

I just cut mine with a very sharp knife and then just repot.

All of the above. You could take cuttings and make new plants, as well as
leave some alone. It'll look dern nice spilling over into the pond.
