Sagittaria latifolia Broadleaf Arrowhead (Also Called Wapato Or Duck-Potato) is a native aquatic perennial with broad, arrow-shaped leaves and delicate white blooms. Ideal for ponds and wetlands, it forms a graceful clump and thrives where moisture is plentiful. Its tubers, or edible tubers, emerge underground and provide a seasonal highlight while supporting wildlife and water quality. Perfect for a water garden or wetland beds, this robust plant adds natural vigor and biodiversity to your landscape.

Care

Sagittaria latifolia, or broadleaf arrowhead, thrives in wetlands with full sun to partial shade. Plant in a pond edge or bog garden with moist, rich soil and spacious spacing. Remove dead leaves to keep water clean and encourage new growth.

Watering

Keep the root zone consistently wet; avoid dry periods. In ponds, maintain shallow water of 6–12 inches above the crown. In containers, top up water regularly and ensure good drainage while never allowing the soil to dry completely.

Maintenance

Divide every 2–3 years to prevent crowding. Trim faded blossoms and yellowing foliage to promote vigor. Watch for algae and balance with appropriate plant life or owl-filtered shading.

Location

Choose a sunny to lightly shaded pond margin or bog garden with nutrient-rich, silt-laden soil. Plant in clusters to create a natural look and ensure stable moisture.

Tips

Pair with other aquatic natives for a balanced habitat; avoid freezing winds; use mulch to retain moisture and consider gentle fertilization in spring.
