Arrowhead is an aquatic or marginal pond plant that requires consistently waterlogged or submerged soil to thrive. Plant it at the edge of a pond or water feature in partial shade to full sun, ensuring roots remain permanently wet. The distinctive arrow-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers make it an attractive addition to water gardens.
