Product Overview
Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia)
Arrowhead has arrow-shaped leaves and spikes of small snow white flower clusters with bright yellow centers. The pretty flowers bloom all summer and accent the lush dark green foliage. It is very winter hardy, and an attractive marginal plant for any water garden. Called Wapito by Native Indian tribes, the tubers have traditionally been used by people and animals (particularly ducks) for food. It was a major food source for some Indian tribes, and a 3,500 year old rock planting bed was recently discovered in Washington state that had been used to cultivate tubers. Multiplies by underground runners, and goes strongly dormant in winter; forms tubers to overwinter. US native.
