Default Water hyacinth overwintering

Virginia?

That's good. It's on the federal and state noxious weed list here and if
caught in possession by USFW, $200 fine "per" plant.

What did you say your address was, again? Just kidding. (if you keep

go to get rid of them. I'd dry them out totally or burn them instead of
throwing in the trash or discarding in a field, stream or lot)

don't want to hurt them.
