Water hyacinth is a free-floating perennial aquatic plant native to tropical and sub-tropical South America. With broad, thick, glossy, ovate leaves, water hyacinth may rise above the surface of the water as much as 1 meter in height. They have long, spongy and bulbous stalks. The feathery, freely hanging roots are purple-black. An erect stalk supports a single spike of 8-15 conspicuously attractive flowers, mostly lavender to pink in color with six petals. When not in bloom, water hyacinth may be mistaken for frog's-bit. Long thick black roots trail provide filtration, spawning and hiding places for fish. The nutrient absorbing qualities of the hyacinth absorb excess nutrients from the water, helping to reduce algae making it the best water clarifier.Water hyacinth are perfect for fighting algae growth in your pond by shading the water and lowering the temperature, as well as fighting for the same nutrients that algae requires to grow. The hanging roots also send Koi into spawning mode. All Plant orders are shipped on Mondays
