Water Hyacinth – Floating Pond Plant for Filtration, Shade & Natural Beauty

Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) is a popular floating aquatic plant known for its lush green foliage and striking lavender-blue flowers. Ideal for ponds and water gardens, the Common Water Hyacinth offers natural water filtration, controls algae by blocking sunlight, and provides excellent shelter for koi and other aquatic life.

Key Benefits:

• Beautiful lavender-blue blooms and lush foliage

• Natural filtration reduces excess nutrients and algae

• Provides shade and habitat for fish

• Fast-growing and easy to maintain

• Sold in groups of 5

Water Hyacinth Planting Instructions:

• Simply float the Water Hyacinth on the pond’s surface—no potting or planting required.

• Position in full sun to encourage blooming and healthy growth.

• Avoid placing near strong currents or waterfalls, as it prefers still or slow-moving water.

Maintenance Tips:

• Remove excess plants to prevent overcrowding and maintain balance in your pond.

• Discard any yellowing or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.

• Not winter-hardy in cold climates; remove from pond before first frost.

• Use in spring through early fall in USDA zones 9–11 (annual in cooler regions).
