Question by penquin44240: Suggestiions for aquatic plants, zone 6, that will help clean water in a rain runoff watershed.?
I live in a rental unit and I am concerned about the watershed at the rear of the property owners property. Crazy, huh? Anyway, I have seen several programs on Planet Green channel where both scientists, biologists, and gardeners take an interest in our water quality by utilizing aquatic plant life to clean and regenerate toxic water to enable ecosystems better survivability. This may be a difficult question for this forum, but its worth a try.

Cat tails and Equisetum are fantastic at cleaning water in bogs and marshes. Equisetum will actually trap heavy metals in its tissue and cat tails are another common and fantastic species that are used to filter bacteria and toxins out of contaminated water. It is common for people to plant these species in areas such as septic leach fields or roadsides. Both species should thrive in Zone 6.
