American pondweed has oval-shaped leaves that spread across the water surface and is also recognized for its brownish-red seed heads that extend above the water on slender stalks. Stems can grow to be six feet in length and cover large areas of water. This coverage can form dense mats that block sunlight from other native vegetation that require it to survive.
