    Hiya everyone
    I’ve been given some marsh Pennywort in a pot but on doing a bit of research it’s coming up as invasive? It looks like there’s two types, one native which seems ok and one not, but there’s a lot of overlap in the information and I’d like to know I’m not giving myself problems in the future.
    The one I have is Marsh Pennywort, Hydrocotyle vulgaris.
    Thanx
    Steve

    Hi Ricky
    Thanx for your reply. Seems like you ran into the same issues that I had. I know the one I have but is it the invasive one?

    You may find a species identification event near you. They're being held around the country mid May. You can contact the NNSS Invasive Species Week » NNSS
