The range of this plant appears to encompass most of Florida with actual occurrances having been found in streams with appropriate water chemistry (appears to like relatively neutral pH and high nutrients).  Has been planted in areas where it is not known to occur naturally including old mine ponds and reclaimation areas.   This plant is not a nuisance in Florida.  It is, however, listed as a nuisance invasive in Australia. Ponds, streams.

We are aware of on nursery attempting to grow it but to the best of our knowledge, it is not yet available for sale. If you gather seed, be sure to have landowner permission. Moist meadows.
