More About Grass Leaf Arrowhead

Sagittaria rigida, Grass Leaf Arrowhead, is found in swamps, bogs, marshes, and shallow waters in both mud and sandy soils. The arrow-shaped long thin foliage grows to 2' tall above the water line in sun to partial shade with small white flowers in mid summer. Sagittaria rigida is a strong naturalizer and its starchy tubers are a great food source.
