Duck Potato (Sagittaria lancifolia) is a durable and long-lived perennial that stands out with its striking white flowers, reaching 3 to 5 feet tall and spreading 1 to 3 feet wide. Thriving in wet environments such as ponds, lakes, or marsh-like areas with organic muck, it flourishes in full sun to part shade. This versatile plant is a favorite among pollinators, while its fruits provide a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife, making it an excellent choice for wetland gardens or aquatic landscapes.
