In Florida, pickerel weed (Pontederia cordata) is usually in shallow fresh water bodies, such as the edges of ponds and lakes, as well as throughout soft, shallow marshes. The plant is perennial and shoots up each growth season, most notably with its rather beautiful and lovely purple flowers. It can grow in remarkably tight clusters, beneath which a variety of freshwater fish take refuge.
