Native Wetland Plants
The Duck potato is a vigorous aquatic perennial that typically grows 2-4’ tall. Known for its arrowhead-shaped leaves, it commonly grows submerged in shallow water or out of water on wet muddy banks, sloughs, swamps, marshes and margins of streams and ponds. Plants are easy to naturalize and will colonize by spreading rhizomes as well as self seed. The Duck potato is a valuable food source for water fowl and can also be enjoyed with olive oil and garlic.
