HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In the spring, plant the seeds just under the surface of muddy soil. The seeds can also be planted in soil covered by up to 18 inches of water.
Growing: As the seedlings develop, make sure the soil is constantly saturated. Keep in mind that the seedlings require full sun, though mature plants can tolerate partial shade. This plant is an excellent choice for bog gardens, shallow ponds, and other wet areas. Mature plants can be divided for additional growth. The seeds of this plant attract mallards and other ducks.
Harvesting: The seeds of this plant provide a valuable food source for mallards and other ducks.
Seed Saving: As the flower spike matures, a pod containing a cluster of round green seeds will develop. Collect the seeds as soon as they turn from green to black, but before they loosen from the cluster and drop. Keep in mind that ducks are highly attracted to these seeds and may eat them as they ripen.

Review
Nothing sprouted
Ordered two of the 1oz packets and planted them in starter containers so they would be ready to plant in my pond. It is now May and not a single one has sprouted. They were kept moist the entire time. Horrible!

Arum Arrow seeds
The seeds looked good and were packed well. Just planted them around a local pond so time will tell. Lots of wood ducks and geese so we are hoping they do well.
DESCRIPTION
IN-STOCK ORDERS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY VIA THE US POST OFFICE.
Named for its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves, this native plant grows in marshes, bogs, and on riverbanks. The greenish-white flowers develop sizeable green seed pods, which are best planted when still wet. Therefore this seed is stored wet and cold until we ship it to you.
