Water Lettuce
Water Lettuce...yum. This plant is one of the fastest, surface covering pond plants available. It grows so fast that it is illegal to sell in certain states. If you want a cool looking "cover plant' for your own garden pond, water lettuce is that plant. The roots hang down in to the water providing shelter for not only fish but other beneficial micro organisms for you pond.
Because Lettuce grows ABOVE the water, it "works" for you. (Plants that grow above the surface use more CO2 and get more light than plants grown below water.) Water lettuce is a filtering plant, the upper part grows like crazy as it helps remove waste from your pond. We are selling one nice huge one or a few small ones. Water Lettuce grows fast and works hard. - Get some Water Lettuce.
