Why water primrose is a problem in Welwyn Garden City
On Welwyn Garden City properties, water primrose forms floating mats over ponds, lakes and slow drains, deoxygenating water and blocking flows. Welwyn Garden City's original industrial estates and the River Lea and River Mimram, which pass close to the town, have all contributed to established knotweed colonies on disturbed brownfield land nearby.
