PLANT OVERVIEW
About Water Hyacinth
A large floating plant with bulbous stalks and showy flowers.
Water Hyacinth floats on inflated, spongy leaf stalks and produces lavender flowers outdoors, with long feathery roots that shelter fry. It's a powerful nutrient remover but is a banned invasive species in many areas and needs very strong light — better suited to ponds than most aquariums. Check local regulations before keeping it.
