Corkscrew ell grass(Vallisneria americana) question. I planted this short spiral ell grass last spring and it spread well the first season. But the older plants seem to get a brownish fuzzy look later on. Especially when FA was on top of the water over them for a month and then the decay I think sifted down to the bottom of the pond. But the plants continued to produce new green plants. Now through the winter they are almost in a decay state it seems. Does anyone know if this is normal for this plant? I guess I will know if they are all right in a couple of months. In comparison to the Corkscrew there is what I believe a narrow leaf pondweed plant in my pond that so far has never grown on top of the water and has stayed bright green through the winter. This may be a nice plant to transplant to other parts of the pond after some more observation this summer.
