Yep! $200 to $2000 fine up to 180 days in jail or both. But they allow water treatment plants use them to purify water. Like the gardener with one plant in a pond is a major threat to the environment, but those thousands of plant at the water treatment plant, are not a problem.

Why can't you make a water garden without water hyacinth? There are lots of aquatic plants that could be used.
