Dwarf Sagittaria (Broadleaf) LIVE AQUARIUM PLANT

Sagittaria Broadleaf Arrowhead Other Common Names: Duck Potato / Indian Potato / Common Arrowhead / Arrowhead / Katniss / Wapatos Scientific Name: Sagittaria Latifolia Color: White 1" Flowers Plant. Outdoors After Frost / Indoors Weeks Before Last Frost Bloom Time: Late Spring - Summer Hardiness Zone: 4 - 11 Plant Height: 24 - 36" Plant Spacing: 15 - 18" Light Requirements: Sun - Part Shade Soil & Water Preferences. This Plant Gets Its Most Common Name, Arrowhead, Because of Its 10" Long Arrowhead Shaped Leaves. But Why the Nickname 'indian Potato' You Ask? The Egg-shaped Rhizomes Are Edible & Were a Popular Food Source for the Native American Indians. They Can Be Cooked & Enjoyed Just Like Potatoes. Arrowhead is Also an Important Food Source for Ducks & Other Waterfowl. These Plants Do Require Moist Conditions, & Grow Well in Ponds, Bogs, or Water Gardens. If They Are Left Alone and Are Not Crowded Out by Other More Aggressive Water Plants, They Will Fill in a Bit, but if You Do Not Wish for Them to Spread at All Simply Place Them in the Water in Pots. In Warmer Climates, the Arrowhead Can Bloom Year Round.
