It's long feathery dangling roots easily make it perfect for added filtration.

Fun plant to have with koi By Virginia stouffer of Washington, DC |

These aren't as pretty as a big lily or lotus but filtration in my pond get 10 times easier when I put them in. Plus the koi like to play with them, pushing them around or pulling them, sometimes having koi races, tails flipping, pushing the plants in opposite directions. It puts an extra show in my pond, visitors enjoy watching them clown around too. I don't worry about plant damage from their nibbling since hyacinths are so hardy. |

High Praise for Water Hyacinth By FoxGlen of Orlean, VA |

Floating Water Hyacinth is a mainstay in our pond and other water features; we've used them for years. They provide excellent shade on the surface of the water, cooling it considerably during the long, hot summer months. The plants purchased from The Pond Guy are prolific bloomers -- better than those purchased from other suppliers. Their iris-like flowers are beautiful, long lasting and abundant when grown in good sunlight. Our baby frogs and fishes shelter safely in their beautiful, fine-hair-like root systems. Don't be afraid of water hyacinth's habit of reproducing quickly! Purchase a sensible number of plants for your water feature remembering how quickly they colonize once settled in. Once they are growing well and starting to cover more than 2/3rds of the water surface, I start harvesting some for our compost heaps where they provide a continuous, excellent source of green materials to keep the heaps heated up throughout the growing season. If you don't compost, share them with others or recycle them sensibly. |

My koi and goldfish love to eat the roots. I have to remove some of the plants periodically to rehabilitate them. They are hardy attractive plants and seem to help filtration in the pond. |
