Description

Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes)

Bloom times: Flowers in the Summer (not all plants will necessarily bloom)
Hardiness zone: 9-11 | Height: 4”-16”
Fertilization: Absorbed from your water!
Cultivation: Air-filled waxy green leaves float on the water’s surface with roots hanging below.
Habit: Prominent lavender-blue flowers with rounded floating leaves. Multiplies quickly!

Water Hyacinth is a Tropical pond plant and should be treated as an annual plant. It prefers warmer water. 

We recommend that your water temperature is 65 degrees (and warmer) before adding Water Hyacinth and Water Lettuce to your pond. 

Using a round feeder or plant ring (like this one) will help keep your floating plants together and out of your pond's skimmer box.
