choose these attractive and hardy native plantsas alternatives to potentially invasive aquatic speciesThese native aquatic plants can add beauty and interest to your water garden and are likely to be more hardy than
exotic plants. Nursery professionals can help you select plants native to your area. Harvesting native plants from the
wild may require a special permit or permission.
Even though these plants and fish are native to Minnesota, it is ILLEGAL to release or plant them in lakes or streams without a permit from the DNR.
