Default Weed of the week: Crassula helmsii

Please note: this is a picture of a pond. The water plantains in the
middle are about a foot high.
Crassula helmsii is suitable for ponds and lakes of all sizes so long as
there's fresh water less than three metres (10 feet) deep. It'll also
grow out into your lawn.
It comes from Australia and New Zealand and has many names, including
the politically correct mouthfuls 'Australian swamp stonecrop' and 'New
Zealand pygmyweed' and the more emotive 'Satanic stonecrop' and 'Devil's
pondweed'.
In Britain it's illegal to let it escape but until April 2014 perfectly
legal to sell it. How's that for joined-up government?
