Redhead Grass
Redhead grass is found in fresh to moderately brackish water. It is most often found in slow moving or standing waters and is generally not very competitive when there are other plants in the pond. Heavy concentrations of redhead grass can interfere with boat traffic and hinder fishing. Most of the Potamogetons produce fruits, tubers and roots, which are good sources of food for waterfowl; redhead grass fits into this category. In some areas, this plant is intentionally planted for waterfowl habitat enhancement.
