Duckweed

Duckweed forms a fast-growing cover over pond and other water garden surfaces. Its free-floating network of disc-shaped leaves spread in a textured mat that looks like thyme foliage. The leaves, actually fronds, send out new foliage from their margins. Duckweed is a fast grower and will require thinning frequently. It is a source of nutrition for many forms of wildlife.
