  2. The difference between these two plants is that water hyacinth boasts lilac or violet petals, and the water lettuce has large leaves that are ribbed. Water hyacinth should also not be confused with water lettuce because hyacinth may not be able to withstand cold weather the way that water lettuce can.

  10. If you want flowers that will make your pond more attractive, the water hyacinth may be the bloom you're looking for. It's important to know how to properly care for these flowers so that they will continue thriving as a colorful addition to your yard

    Water lettuce is a free-floating plant with many spongy, dusty green simple leaves. The leaves are covered in very fine hairs and arranged in a spiral pattern from the center of the plant. The leaves are 1 to 6 inches wide and have large veins running their length.
