Worst Water Weeds: Hydrilla The Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health lists a total of 79 different invasive and exotic aquatic plants that can be found in various parts of the United States. Some are wreaking more havoc than others, but one of the worst of all is hydrilla. It has invaded across much of the southern United States, and is beginning to make its way northward.

It grows upward from its roots at the bottom of the pond, lake or slow-movi
