Sagittaria lancifolia is a captivating aquatic perennial, fondly known as Duck Potato due to its large starchy tubers that are a favored meal for local wildlife. Boasting a robust size of 1 to 4 feet, this versatile plant makes a striking statement in any water-inclusive landscape. Its large vibrant leaves form a lance-like shape, reflecting the glossy shimmer of the pond's surface, and making for a lush green spectacle. In summer, it adorns itself with delicate white, three-petaled blooms, creating a captivating contrast against its verdant foliage. A thirst lover, Duck Potato flourishes best in high water use conditions, basking happily under full sun to partial shade.
