POND PLANT BIO:
Water hyacinths are beautiful, fast-growing plants that float on the water’s surface! They feature thick, glossy green foliage and occasionally bloom with 6 inch spikes of gorgeous lilac flowers! Incredible floating root systems increase natural filtration & oxygenate water! Floaters provide much-needed shelter & shade, resulting in improved water quality & ecosystem health. You may even find your pond fish eating the floating roots as a nutritious snack or using them as a safe spawning site! Simply toss your water hyacinths into the pond with roots facing down; no planting necessary, and they will propagate quickly! Water hyacinth is the most popular floating plant for so many reasons!

Note: Be sure to use dechlorinated water for your floating plants. Never dispose of unwanted floating plants into natural bodies of water, as they can interfere with ecosystems. If you wish to remove some from your pond, simply pull them out & throw them straight into the compost bin or trash!
