Spatterdock
(Spirogyra spp.)
Spatterdock is a large, water lily-like plant with floating and immersed, heart-shaped leaves. The round, yellow flowers are smaller than golf balls. Spatterdock can spread by both seeds and its large spongy rhizomes. Control often requires multiple herbicide treatments.
