Creeping Water Primrose
(Ludwigia peploides)
Creeping water primrose is an aquatic and wetland plant commonly found in shallow water or moist soils. It features a hollow red stem with numerous green and red leaves, spreading aggressively along shorelines and wetland areas. This plant is easily identified by its bright yellow flowers, which help distinguish it from similar species. While creeping water primrose provides some habitat benefits, its rapid growth can quickly lead to dense mats that choke out native vegetation, restrict water flow, and interfere with recreational activities. Early detection and management are essential to prevent excessive spread.
