Water Hyancinth - Floating Live Pond Plant

Very happy plants arrived alive and in beautiful condition.

I place the tiny piece of Greenery that they sent in water and it died and fell apart. It was no way near the size of the photo. Just a waste of money.

I called a few nurseries in the area to get just two plants because they multiply so very fast I knew I didn't need more. To my surprise (as I've been able to buy them in the past) I was told they are an invasive species and no longer sold. Here was the ONLY place I was able to buy them. Because of that, I've now heard from other koi pond keepers, these plants can be potted and brought inside to winter. I will do that in the fall because these plants floating in the pond are ideal for shading the fish and providing hanging roots for eggs and fry. And as for them being invasive, I understand and will take extra care as not to introduce them anywhere where they may grow uncontrollable.

But grow too fast and create way too much algae in a small pond.

Definitely best value out there. Hard to find this item less than $10. However, the seller doesn't put big effort on quality shipping. I got my item in weak condition (which corroborated with other reviewer complaints). But since I'm experienced with this plant, I was able to rejuvinate it with no problem and now it's flourishing well. If you're experienced, then it's a great opportunity to get it cheap. Newbies will be frustrated by poor quality and dead plants....

I am delighted with my water plants! I ordered the hyacinth and the water lettuce. The packaging was good. They arrived very quickly. They had a few brown leaves, which I clipped off, but otherwise looked pretty good. They have been in my pond for about two weeks and they are thriving. I already have new growth on both of them. I appreciated the personal note that came with the plants detailing care and prompt customer service, if needed. I am very happy. I will be ordering a few more. Thank you!

Sorry guys....wish I could give better recommendation....BUT I probably should have given it 1 star....Couldn't believe my eyes as to how tiny this plant was! Plus....it didn't even live 1 1/2 months! I've had a 1200 gal Koi pond for 23 years, & needed some plants, so when I found I could get these from Amazon, I was over the moon! NOW I seriously doubt I'll ever order plants on line again!

They were alive and healthy when I received them. After just a couple of weeks they were dead in my gold fish pond. Wouldn't buy again.
