Ludwigia (Ludwigia peruviana)

Ludwigia is an invasive shrub that thrives in moist, wetland areas and has a dramatic impact on aquatic environments. It has been recorded at several locations within Hornsby Shire, especially around dams and along creek lines. Notify Council if you see this plant in Hornsby Shire or see evidence of it being traded (including online), carried, grown, or released into the environment. Try to avoid ludwigia from being introduced onto to your land. If you find it on your property, prevent it from spreading from your land where possible, especially into bushland, watercourses, dams, or spreading seeds or plant fragments down stormwater drains.
