A tall plant with blue flowers and glossy foliage for pool margins is the look of pickerel weed. The Pontederia genus member in question matures to a height of 2 to 2.5 feet (60 to 75 centimeters) and a width of 1.5 feet (45 centimeters) within three to four years. The aquatic plant in question needs full sun and water depths of 2 to 8 inches (5 to 20 centimeters) to produce repeat blooms, facilitated by stem cuts as flowers fade, throughout the summer.
Pickerel weed is considered a producer because it is a type of aquatic plant that conducts photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create its own food in the form of glucose. As a primary producer, it forms the base of the aquatic food web, providing energy and nutrients for herbivores and other organisms in its ecosystem. Its ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy supports a diverse range of wildlife, making it a vital component of wetland habitats.

A plant becomes a weed when it's not wanted.
You don't plant weed, they just grow from gardens.
The increase in pickerel population may lead to a decrease in the population of smaller fish species that the pickerel prey upon. This can create a shift in the ecosystem dynamics, impacting the overall biodiversity of the lake. Additionally, the rise in pickerel numbers could affect the availability of food resources for other top predators in the habitat.
A weed is an unwanted plant.
