Description:
Sagittaria latifolia, commonly known as duck potato, is a North American native plant found in swamps and damp lowlands. It features thick-textured, arrowhead-shaped leaves and forms rapidly spreading clumps up to 4 feet tall. The plant produces starchy tubers and white, three-petalled flowers in summer, attracting bees, wasps, butterflies, and beetles. It is a perennial that thrives in wet areas like ponds and swamps, forming dense colonies. The tubers are edible and were traditionally used by Native Americans.
