Sagittaria latifolia is a wetland plant often used in created ponds but is naturally found in swamps, ditches, and lake/stream edges. Requires constantly moist soils at a minimum but preferes to be in 12-18" of water. White flowers occur throughout the warm months. It reaches 2-4 feet tall. Can form colonies through its spreading roots. May lose its foliage in the winter if it gets too cold.
