I am looking for the hardy water lily "Bleeding Heart". If anyone has one they can get me a start off of I would like to trade for it this spring/ summer. I have many varieties to offer. Thanks, Garbird

Hightider, I live in Ohio and cannot overwinter water hyacinth but really like the plant. We are past most of the cold winter weather now. I am interested in some of the water hyacinths. I have yellow flag iris, or a couple of types of miscanthis grass I could trade. Shot me an e-mail at robin16795@gmail.com if you are interested in trading.

Have blue pickeral, cattails, need a couple w hyacinths to give the fish some shade. Anyone who could donate a water lily would be greatly appreciated too! Thank you!

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.
