Peltandra virginica

Arrow Arum

Arrow Arum grows in still or slow moving waters of ponds, swamps, marshes, and the banks of streams. The remarkable broad arrow headed leaves reach 2-4' tall in full sun to shade. Unassuming yet unique tiny flowers grow in a slender spathe inside a hooded spadix. Truly a foliage accent with a tropical look. Deer & goose resistant.
