Receive 2 large water hyacinth plants for $4.95.  


Sorry, Hyacinth cannot be shipped to: AL, AR, AZ, LA, PR, SC, TX, City of Chicago, FL, PR

Rosette Water Hyacinth is a free floating pond plant.  Each plant is 8" wide. Shipping is based on 1.5 pounds.

Blooms:  Water Hyacinth grows pretty purple flowers in the warm Spring and Summer months.

Oxygenating:  Water Hyacinth adds oxygen to your pond; which provides for a balanced aquatic ecosystem.  The long dangling roots also provide an excellent environment for spawning fish.  However, if you have koi in your pond they will eat the plant.  Water Hyacinth will not hurt your fish, but keep a supply in a separate container so you will always have a supply for the larger pond.

Clarifier:  I do not have any water filters in my personal pond, because the water hyacinth roots clarifies the water and keeps it clean! 

Perfect Garden Mulch:  Water Hyacinth grows quickly.  If you end up with too many plants, toss the excess in the mulch pile along with your grass clippings.  Because the hyacinth roots absorb the pond fish excrement, it works just like the expensive fish emulsion that is sold in stores.  Plants love it!  Your vegetable garden will love it too!

Water Hyacinth Care:  Grows best in full sun. Do not allow to freeze. Can be wintered-over indoors in a sunny window.  Flowers last 2 days, but plants will continue to bloom throughout the warm season.  Plants will have brown spots through the winter and green up during the spring.
