100 Seeds Common Arrowhead Sagittaria latifolia Wetland Aquatic Pond Plant

Common Arrowhead, also known as Duck Potato or Wapato, is a native North American aquatic perennial prized for its arrow-shaped foliage and clusters of white flowers. This marginal wetland plant grows in shallow water and consistently moist soils, making it a striking addition to ponds, bog gardens, rain gardens, and water features.

Its broad arrowhead-shaped leaves rise above the waterline on sturdy stalks, while whorls of white three-petaled flowers appear through summer and attract pollinators. The plant spreads by rhizomes and produces small tubers, and it works well for naturalizing pond edges, wildlife habitat plantings, and mixed aquatic beds. Grow it in containers within water features to manage spread.
