Ludwigia pilosa
Hairy primrose-willow is a velvety, perennial aquatic or semi-aquatic herb from the southeastern United States that grows in wet ground, ditches and pond margins. It needs consistently moist to wet conditions, and it is a useful wetland plant rather than a typical garden ornamental.
Ludwigia pilosa, the hairy primrose-willow, is a species of plant in the family Onagraceae.
Ludwigia pilosa prefers wet ground and can be found along road side ditches, ponds, and shallow swampy areas. Distribution spreads from eastern TX to the southern half of MS, AL, GA, NC, SC, the northern portion of FL, and two counties in southeastern VA.
