Product Description
PIK's #1 Most Popular Pond Plant, the Eichhornia Crassipes, also known as Water Hyacinth, is a stunning addition to any aquatic garden. With beautiful lavender-blue flowers and fleshy floating leaves, this fast-growing plant is perfect for adding a pop of color to your pond.
Water Hyacinth is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides natural benefits to your pond. It offers protection and cover for your koi from predators, helps keep the water clean and filtered, serves as a natural biofilter, and controls algae by absorbing nutrients from the water.
This plant thrives in full sun with a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight per day and is suitable for Zones 9-11. It blooms in the summer and can grow anywhere from 2" to 12" in height. Water Hyacinth is a floating plant, so no planting is required - simply let it float on the water's surface.
Please note that Water Hyacinth cannot be shipped to certain states and counties due to legal restrictions. When receiving this plant, you may notice trimmed roots, but with proper care, they will re-establish themselves in your pond.
For those looking to control the growth of Water Hyacinth, consider using the Nycon Floating Plant Islands. And if you're interested in other popular pond plants, check out our top 5 sellers from the last 5 years, including Water Lettuce, FrogBit, Hornwort, and more.
