Arrowhead Sagittaria Latifolia
Best low-maintenance aquatic plant for beginner water garden enthusiasts.
This is the rare aquatic plant that earns its keep by being both a striking visual anchor and a functional food source. While its distinctive arrowhead foliage brings architectural drama to any pond, you’ll need to manage its vigorous spread to keep it from taking over the entire water feature.
