AQUATIC WEEDS: EMERGENT
These plants have most or all of their vegetative and flowering parts above the surface of the water or on the shoreline. They grow in shallow areas and banks of lakes, ponds, rivers and ditches. This group is also referred to as shoreline and wetland plants. Generally rigid, these plants do not need water for support. Many are not considered truly aquatic but can survive submerged in water or in saturated soils for extended periods of time. Plants in this category include cattails, alligatorweed, torpedograss, smartweed, purple loosestrife, arrowhead and pickerelweed.
