2009_lettuce_165.jpg
IFP Water Lettuce - Pistia stratiodes

Water Lettuce is one of the perennial favorites among pond keepers. Its ability to filter water and its unusual appearance make it a fitting addition to any medium sized to large pond setting. In smaller ponds or barrels it tends to overwhelm its tankmates. Its leaves are thick, fuzzy, and gray-green. The leaves form a rosette on the water surface. The plants produce runners in all directions and eventually form colonies wherever they are able to sit undisturbed. The flowers are insignificant. Masses of roots extending down into the water are outstanding water filteration aids. *** CANNOT SHIP TO FLA OR TEXAS ***

IFP Water Hyacinth - Eichornia crassipes

The plant that ate the southeast corner of North America. This is perhaps the most universally known water plant. Large clusters of large lavender flowers are held above the plant, which consists of a bunch of rounded leaves floating on hugely inflated stems. The plants float on the water's surface and are ballasted by large masses of black and purple roots. These roots are what make this species such a valuable asset in the cleaning of water. Everything from Koi pond water to municipal run-off benefits from being filtered by this worthy plant. It produces beautiful flowers, filters water like no other plant, makes an excellent spawning medium for Koi, and makes great compost. Who could ask for anything more? ***CANNOT SHIP to Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, Florida.*******
