Amazing Invasive

Variable watermilfoil (Myriophyllum herterophyllum) is an incredibly hardy, resilient and adaptable plant.

We have beds of it, either on boggy shores,

dry rocky beds,

or as floating boggy mats within the waterbody.

  

Whatever the substrate, this amazing plant persists, no matter how harsh the conditions. During our water drawdown of about 4 feet, lasting for a month, variable watermilfoil has not died off - it has a terrestrial form that keeps it alive despite being out of water for so long.
