Extension Environmental Horticulturist
Aquatic plants hold a fascination for gardeners, whether they' have a large pond or a bird bath, said Diane Relf, environmental horticulturist with Virginia Cooperative Extension of Virginia Tech.
Aquatic plants can be divided into algae and rooted water plants. Algae are simple plants that lack true roots, leaves, or flowers.
They may occur as single cells, colonies, filaments, or advanced forms such as muskgrasses or stoneworts, which grow to a height of two to tjftree feet and resemble rooted plants.
Algae may occur as free-floating surface scums; dense, surface or bottom-tangled mats; attached on rooted plants or submerged object; or motile, individual forms dispersed throughout the water.
