Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
Pontederia cordata has occurred in mucky soils of river floodplains, an outlet stream to a brackish marsh, shallow river water, cypress swamps, cypress-gum swamps, lake shores, open pools in gum swamps, and a river headwater marsh. It has also been found in disturbed areas such as open roadside ditches, along swamp logging roads, a weedy pond adjacent to a road, modified cypress-sawgrass exposed habitat, mowed roadside ditches, roadside cypress swamps, and the edge of a phosphate pool (FSU Herbarium). Soil types include sandy peat and sandy-clay-alluvium (FSU Herbarium). It has been observed to grow in shaded habitats (FSU Herbarium). Associated species include Taxodium, Nyssa aquatica, Fraxinus tomentosa, Serenoa repens, Cyperus odoratus, Paspalum dissectum, and Echinochloa walteri (FSU Herbarium).
