Cyperus helferi flower stalk

Today I noticed a flower stalk coming up from my largest Cyperus helferi. I was wondering if I can only get the adventitious plants if the stalk makes it above the water. Can I keep it submerged and get submersed plantlets like with Echinodorus? There's not a whole lot of room above the water and below the glass.

Thanks, Cavan

Thanks for the response Aaron. I'm guessing now that it doesn't matter a whole lot if the plantlets are emersed or not. We'll see...

I think that C. helferi just has a long adjustment period. I have a newer one besides the one sending up the flower stalk, and its color is not so good at present. I see a few brown leaf tips on that one as well. I gave it a Flourish Tab and will just wait for it to get going. Other plants and the other helferi look great, so I'm not worried.
