I think you've pegged it here ~
Probably needs more sun.

Kathy,

my parrot feather is in full sun and looks much like she described it. It's
got long tendrils underwater and just tips above. It's growing, but not
flourishing like it did last year or down in Houston. Can't figure out what's
different this year.

Thought... we've had some very cool nights (45) and not real sunny warm days,
that may be what's stopping it from growing.

Last year the Hurley's have me some PF, and I tucked it under a rock in the
main pond. It grew, but not very dense. This year, I got my christmas
package from them, and did not have time to plant so I just tossed the PF
into the VF. It is going crazy, and has grown down the stream already. I am
beginning to think this is a moving water plant.

My parrot's feather did not start growing until it warmed up.
I'd give the plant the full growing season to see what it does.

I've grown parrot's feather in the frog bog,
still water and full sun. It took over.
It is such a prolific grower that it is now banned in my state.
I ripped all mine out, not getting it all of course, and it is starting its
second season in the compost pile!

Be careful what you wish for.....

last years PF barely came back this year and again seems to growing underwater
rather than on top, can't figure that one out. I'm still waiting for summer to
arrive in Ohio, it's been cool so far with steady winds and nighttime temps in
40s and 50s. Brrr. Maybe July will brings warmth and sunshine!

=========================
That I can believe,... as the clump doing the best is in my settling tank
with a constant slow flow of water. It's falling out over the edge of the
tub already.
