We have a hard time getting water hyacinth up here. and some years it don't even grow. It's not against the law here either. As if you do get it grow good it dies off in October. and is gone forever. Then in the spring if anybody gets any in, its not till may. and they want $4.00 -$5.00 apeace for it.
And I agree it is a very pretty plant and very usefull in a pond.
If it wern't so far, I'de be knocking on your door. I could use all I could haul. I like it for filtration as much as anything. One year I did get a bunch to bloom, yes very pretty.
I don't think it is detrimental untill your lilies don't have any room to come up, an you can no longer see your fish.((*-*))
