500 Common Arrowhead Seeds Heirloom Native Aquatic Pond Plant

Common Arrowhead is a hardy native aquatic perennial prized for its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves and elegant white flowers that rise above the waterline in summer. It thrives in ponds, water gardens, and wetland edges, naturalizing readily to create a lush, wildlife-friendly habitat that attracts pollinators and dragonflies.

The starchy tubers are a traditional food source and can be harvested after the growing season, while the foliage provides excellent cover for fish and beneficial insects. Plant in shallow water or consistently moist soil at the pond margin, where it spreads gradually by rhizomes and tubers to form attractive colonies over time. It also works well in rain gardens and bog planters.
