Yes, but they need a shallow area to establish. They thrive in water depths of up to 6 inches or in consistently boggy soil along the shoreline, so ensure your pond has a suitable shelf or muddy edge before sowing.

As a perennial, this plant typically focuses on root establishment in its first year. You can expect to see the signature arrow-shaped foliage and flowers by the second growing season once the colony has settled.

These seeds generally benefit from a period of cold stratification to mimic winter conditions, which helps break dormancy. If you are planting in the spring, keeping the seeds in a moist, cool environment for a few weeks prior to sowing can improve germination rates.

Sagittaria latifolia is a vigorous grower that spreads via rhizomes, making it excellent for naturalizing an area. While it is not typically considered invasive, it will colonize the space you provide, so it is best suited for areas where you want a dense, established patch.

While it can tolerate partial shade, it performs best and produces the most flowers in full sun. Aim for an area that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the healthiest growth.
