Coontail Plant, also known as the cock's tail, is a part of the family Araceae. The name comes from the finely divided leaves, resembling a rooster's tail feathers. It is native to South America and Central America but is commonly found in wet areas throughout North America and Europe. It can grow in shallow water up to three feet deep. In the wild, it grows in slow-moving streams and ditches with thick mud or clay bottoms.
Coontail Plant Creeps Across The Floor Of The Pond
The scientific name is Ceratophyllum demersum. It has a creeping rhizome that produces erect stems up to 8 inches tall. Its leaves are long and narrow, with pointed tips; they float on the water surface or flat on the bottom. The plant flowers have three white petals with brown veining, giving them a fan-like appearance. These flowers usually appear at the base of each stem, but occasionally, one or two may be found near the top.
It reproduces by seed and vegetatively by spreading rhizomes from one to another or one pond to another through mud or soil particles carried by birds or animals.
