Pond PLant question: water celery
It is not Vallisneria americana. I used to grow that in my fish tanks. No
way that escapes onto the lawn!

I don't need any, thanks. What you call water celery mustn't be what
I call water celery. Vallisneria americana does not survive out of
water. Got pictures?

Hi GD,
Yep. The water celery seems also to be a terrestrial. It comes out and
sends runners under the rocks. It surfaces on the berm behind the veggie
pond/fileters. In the hot summer, it does poorly on the berm. In the
spring, it thrives. The mower does the trick.
Want some?
