You realize of course that this plant is a menace to our waterways. many States have banned it having spent millions of dollars on intensive clearance of this menace. it is spread by water borne seed, mainly from private gardens.and clogs up rivers and streams. So check with your town/city hall to see if it is legal. I would not advise its use, but if it's legal where you reside, it's your call. Conscience is a strong emotion.

Answer 5

water lettuce is illegal in many places, like Florida. So if u live in one of those places then when your mail comes the mail service will not deliver your plants. Water lettuce is illegal because it spreads so easy and clogs the waterways.

it spreads easily by runners.

It does have seed but i do not know if u will find any. it looks like only plants are for sale maybe. <<this is true for some water plants i think because their seeds do not stay viable if they get dry.

maybe ask this guy if u really want seed:
