Pickeral Weed
So this year someone, actually two someones, gave me some pickerel weed.
First of all, I love it. It's an awesome hearty plant. Last weekend, the wife and I were cleaning up the pond, pruning, etc. When I pulled the pickeral weed up, we found that it was massively overgrowing the container. Once we got done cleaning, I was tired and just tossed the whole plant into the pond on a shelf. Anyone ever done this? No pot...just raw plant sitting in the pond? BV. |

I have creeping primrose tied with string and tied to a brick. You can watch it grow, just about.... I also have bare root taro stuck in another brick...grows fine. I also have parrot feather done as the creeping primrose is and it grows like mad until the primrose chokes it out. |

It rooted into some spilled gravel the koi dumped on the shelf and thrived. :^) -- Carol.....

Boy BV, you are brave. Pickeral weed has to be one of the more invasive
plants I've used. I guess if there was no way it could root in rock or gravel you could control it. Joe BenignVanilla wrote: So this year someone, actually two someones, gave me some pickerel weed.
