I have new WP popping up in a few places in my pond. So far it is great. The little fish love it and it is attractive.

I used google lens to ID it and get a mixed bag on benefit vs threat. This thread reflects the same bifurcated view.

I can probably pull it all up today and keep it from coming back. It hasn't bloomed yet.

Should I kill it?
