Description

  • Arrowheads (Sagittaria latifolia) are submerged water plants that have edible tubers. They seem to be pretty easy to grow if you have a pond or wetland area. 
  • They are named after their leaves, which are triangular shaped, like an arrow.
  • They are native to North American and were eaten by Native Americans.
  • They can be challenging to harvest, but are easy to cook and wonderfully tasty, so are worth the effort.  Roasted, which turns them into a light and airy, but not greasy, french fry.

GROWING ARROWHEAD IN YOUR POND

  • Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia) is a perennial native that grows throughout the United States. There are related varieties in Europe and Asia.
  • Arrowhead grows at the edges of ponds and lakes, where the roots are sunk into the underwater dirt, and the leaves reach several feet above the water.
  • It can also grow in marshy areas, where the soil is continually wet.
