OTHER: 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. And duck potato? 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.
