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