Wildflowers - Arrowhead Seeds
This aquatic plant loves the wet, muddy soil of swamps, ponds and streams. Forming large, tubers below the ground, the edible "duck potato" is enjoyed by birds, waterfowl, muskrats, turtles and beavers. In the past, these roots were also a food source for native Americans. The plant makes an attractive addition to wetlands with its distinictively shaped leaves, and pure white flowers. Arrowhead creates dense colonies spread by rhizomes and self-seeding.

Native to swamps and marshy areas, this plant has a long history of use by Native American tribes because of the potato-like tubers that form at its roots. The common name "duck potato" refers to the many wild birds that forage both from the seeds and the tubers. Famed explorers Lewis and Clark first discovered this plant at Oregon's Willamette River, noting that it was a valued source of food. The genus name "sagittaria" means "arrow-shaped" in reference to the leaves, while the species name "latifolia" means "wide-leaved."Starting at $2.50 USD
