500 Broadleaf Arrowhead Seeds (Sagittaria latifolia) Native Aquatic Wildflower for Pond & Wetland Gardens

Broadleaf Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia) is a native aquatic perennial prized for its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers. Also known as duck potato, this marginal water plant adds texture and wildlife value to pond edges, water gardens, and wetland areas. Its starchy tubers are a food source for waterfowl, and the nectar-rich blooms attract pollinators.

Ideal for naturalizing along pond margins or in boggy soil, Broadleaf Arrowhead thrives in shallow water and full sun. Its architectural foliage and late-season flowers make it a standout in aquatic landscapes.

Planting & Care

Sow seeds in a moist, rich medium and keep them consistently wet. For best results, stratify seeds for 4-6 weeks before sowing. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Maintain shallow water over the soil once seedlings are established. Transplant young plants to their permanent position in shallow water or boggy soil after the last frost.

Broadleaf Arrowhead requires minimal care once established. Keep the soil consistently moist or submerged, and remove spent foliage in late fall if desired. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
