It is frequently dominant and can grow in an emergent form from 0·7m above the water to a submerged form 1·3m in length, to depths of c. 3m. Plant bimass is generally high with little seasonal cessation of growth. The habit is frequently a dense sward growth which smothers out other flora; it is present in c. ten reserves and is causing concern. It is widely available from aquatic suppliers, it has an enormous potential to propagate from small fragments and has a high growth rate. It is associated with soft sediments and possibly iron-rich areas; this is confirmed by growth trials in static water tanks. In flowing water trials, growth was even faster in water velocities up to 0·32 m s−1, indicating its potential—although no river sites in Britain are yet known. Control by physical removal, often recommended, results in numerous propagules and should be combined with a secondary technique. This initial study suggests that this plant will remain a problem and caution is required to prevent its further spread. Studies of techniques for its control are needed."
