Where Does it Grow?
Non-Native
Water hyacinth is native to South America, but has naturalized much of the Southern U.S. It grows in ponds, streams, and ditches.
Is it Invasive?
Water hyacinth is non-native to North America. Water hyacinth is a very aggressive invader and can form thick mats. If these mats cover the entire surface of the pond, they can cause oxygen depletion and fish kills. Water hyacinth should be controlled so they do not cover the entire pond.
