I use to think Coontail was kind of neat until I got a pond that had it. I would avoid that species.

I have transplanted some bulrushes and arrowhead which seem to multiply slow enough to maintain at this time. I've avoided cattails because of discussions here about their ability to take over. A friend gave me a second planting of a different variety of rush and in it there were a type of lilly. I haven't got rid of it yet because it is kind of neat but I'm sceptical of it's reproduction abilities. I have not Id'd it at this time.
