Arrowhead, also known as duck potato, is a perennial aquatic plant commonly found along the edges of ponds and wetlands, often growing in dense stands. It features distinctive arrow-shaped leaves that can reach 2–3 feet tall, along with striking white blooms that appear in late summer. This hardy plant has strong, tuberous roots that allow it to withstand fluctuating water levels and varying weather conditions. While Arrowhead provides valuable habitat and food for wildlife, including waterfowl, its rapid growth can sometimes require management to prevent excessive spread along shorelines.
