I see many post regarding a plant called anacharis. Is this a
recommended plant to have in your pond? Does it spread fast, does it
need upkeep? How do you plant it? Does it float or do you have to
plant it in something and how many plants would you need? So many
questions but where I'm at I don't see it for sale but sure hear about
it alot. Thanks

Here is a picture of it:

I didnt find a real good website about it, but it is an oxygenating
plant and naturally filters the water, thus helping to keep it clear.
It is also good for the wildlife in the pond. You can just throw it
in, (it'll end up where it wants to anyway), you can tie it to a brick
and sink it, or i guess you could pot it, but i don't see the point.
It's a good plant to have in the pond.
