No, not Kalamalka Lake, even though that happens since it’s a Marl lake. The greenery takes over on our garden lake.
That’s what it looks like after trimming more than half of the stuff.
I wish I could get plants to grow in my pond! My fish just destroy everything and anything we put in there.
We had three nicely potted lily pad plants and they have managed to dig out every one of them, we find the pots floating around the pond and all the dead roots from the plants end up clogging the filters!
I’m not sure what the name of the sedums you have going there is, but they will grow darn near anywhere. I have them in cracks between rocks that barely get any water and you have them growing directly in the water.
Real easy to propagate too. Just break a piece off and plant it. You can’t kill them! To some people that’s invasive behavior, but I don’t mind them at all.
Around here the Greenhouses call it Grisbachi Sedum. I didn’t realize it would grow in water too.
I have had good luck this year with my Water Hyacinth too. I started with just one plant and it grew really well, so I broke it off into smaller pieces and its doing real well.
This super prolific stuff is called “Myriophillium aquatica”.
Hmm… The only exact match hit I get searching on that name is this thread !
Myriophyllum aquatica should work better. I’m getting old, don’t know how to spell anymore, either.
That’s better. In close-up they are much different than the seedums I thought they were…

A Green Krok on a “as close to prototype as practical” RhB layout? Sure, it suggests a bit of Florida in this heat (85 and climbing).

Myriophyllum aquaticum commonly called parrot feather available at Lowes in the early spring.
It’s not even close to being a sedum (sedums are drought tolerant and Parrot Feather needs wet feet minimum). Like sedum however be careful to keep it pruned as it can spread where it can take root.
We overwintered the stuff once, but it didn’t take off the next year. So now we clean it out once the snow flies and restock the following Spring.
