WARNING: Water hyacinth is on the State of Florida's list of prohibited plants which means that it cannot be possessed, collected, transported, cultivated or imported without a permit from the Department of Environmental Protection.

Which state do you live in? Some states prohibit these plants because they are quite invasive in open waters. As long as you keep them in your pond, that doesn't have access to open waters, then you are OK. I have bunches of them. I throw them out regularly because they multiply so fast.

Looking for either or for 2 ponds I have. I don't have much to trade...could offer some hostas. But would be more than glad to paypal you your shipping costs. Thanks!!!!

Hi, I am just setting up my 5'x7' pond and need some oxygenating plants plus other plants that will add to water quality. Might people in the New York area have Water Hyacinth, Pickeral, and oxygenating plants to give away? I live near the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and will meet you in Brooklyn or Manhattan. Here is a list of some oxygenators: Parrot Feather Anacharis (Egeria densa) Bacopa (Bacopa caroliniana) Cabomba, Purple (Cabomba pulcherrima) Foxtail (Myriophyllum heterophyllum) Hornwort (Ceratophyllum demersum) Jungle Val (Vallisneria americana) Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri) Dwarf Sagittaria (Sagittaria subulata) Red Ludwegia Ranunculus aquatilis. water crowfoot Thank you
