DW Hyacinth aquatis

Description

DW Hyacinth aquatic (often referred to as Water Hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes) is an invasive aquatic plant known for its striking, lavender-blue flowers and glossy, green, floating leaves. It thrives in slow-moving or still freshwater, where it forms dense mats on the water’s surface. The leaves of Water Hyacinth are round to oval and have a shiny texture, while the flower spikes bloom in late spring and summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Water Hyacinth is ideal for ornamental ponds, water gardens, and aquariums, though it should be carefully managed, as it can quickly spread and overwhelm water bodies. It thrives in full sun and warm temperatures, requiring regular maintenance to control its growth.
