Help, plant; Green leaves, small blue flowers - 02/06/19 05:30 PM
Don't have a picture with me, but will post one when they come up this year. I have been fighting a perimeter weed on my 6 acre pond. Grows around entire pond in 12"-18" or less of water. Grows up to waist high, green leaves with small blue flowers and small thorns.
Any ideas would be appreciated, and I realize this would be much easier with pictures. From what I have found on the internet, it resembles Creeping Water Primrose, but not yellow flowers.
It makes it quite difficult for the kiddo's to fish from the fact that it creates a barrier, it has thorns, and it is chock ablock with chiggers!!!
Wondering if grass carp might be some help with a perimeter plant that grows in 12-18" of water?
Aquatic roundup will kill it, but comes back. Looking to get away from chemicals as much as possible (as is everyone).
Won't do anything until I get a positive ID.
Again, any help appreciated.
