This grows along the riverbanks and in my flowerbeds. Its is invasive and can be a problem. But it responds to weed killer whiped on stem and dies, root and all in a few weeks. Only thing, there are usually more since it also comes up from underground roots.

I have also dug some and put them in pots in my pond. They are immersed totally in water and are thriving. They seem to be working real well in there.

If you look close at the tops of the plant you can see the little seed heads. You remove this after its dry and plant as soon as you can for best results.......
