Lui, K. 2001. 11 pp. (2003) speculated that even the densest populations of flowering rush may leave some space available for native species as a result of its particular growth form. Find specific plants with our Plant Finder & Plant Selector. At about 40% of the sites at which it was found, B. umbellatus made up more than 50% of the total species cover, suggesting that it is capable of dominating wetland sites (Lavoie et al. 2003). Flowering rush can be fertile (both spread by sexual reproduction and seeds or by vegetative means) or sterile (can only reproduce by vegetative means (Lui et al. Exotic species in Lake Champlain.

However, many locations have outlawed this plant due to its invasive properties. It should be peeled and the rootlets removed [179]. The flower blossoms in the summer. In fact, a recommendation for limiting the spread of flowering rush is to limit disturbance, as it is able to spread easily from bulbils that detach and float as well as rhizomes. 1980. Flowering rush tends to form large clusters of plants and can easily crowd out native species. 1996.

Causes and consequences of extreme variation in reproductive strategy and vegetative growth among invasive populations of a clonal aquatic plant, Butomus umbellatus L. (Butomaceae). Sampling along the St. Lawrence River in Quebec suggested that B. umbellatus was less common than purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria) but tended to be much more invasive when present. Flowering rush is easily obtained from plant nurseries in its native ranges in Europe and Asia, both in person and online. Peters, W.L., M. Hockenberry Meyer, and N.O. Diploid populations of B. umbellatus can reproduce sexually via seed production and clonally via the branching and fragmentation of rhizomes and the production of small bulbils on both the rhizomes and inflorescences (Lui et al.

Current research on socio-economic impact of Butomus umbellatus in the Great Lakes is inadequate to support proper assessment. Further concerns have arisen regarding the role of B. umbellatus populations as an ideal habitat for the great pond snail (Lymnaea stagnalis), an intermediate host of a trematode (Trichobilharzia ocellata) responsible for swimmer’s itch (Rice and Dupuis 2009). Flowering rush can also be easily grown from a rhizome cutting. They will not flower in a congested basket but prefer muddy and nutrient high conditions.
