Sagittaria latifolia (Duck Potato) – Marginal Pond Plant – UK Grown

Sagittaria latifolia, also known as Duck Potato, is a beautiful and hardy marginal pond plant. It features large, arrow-shaped leaves and white, three-petaled flowers that bloom in summer. These unique flowers create a beautiful contrast against the lush green foliage.

Duck Potato thrives in shallow water or damp, well-drained soil, making it perfect for pond margins. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For optimal growth, plant in slightly acidic to neutral soil, keeping the roots consistently moist.

To plant Sagittaria latifolia, use an aquatic basket filled with loam-based compost. Position the basket so the crown is just above the water level. If planting directly in soil, ensure the area stays damp, especially during dry spells. Regular watering is essential for healthy growth.

As a UK-grown plant, Duck Potato is well-suited to local conditions and climates. Our plants are carefully nurtured, ensuring they arrive strong and ready to thrive in your garden.

Add Sagittaria latifolia to your pond for unique foliage and beautiful flowers. Order now to receive this UK-grown beauty. Don’t wait—buy today and enhance your water garden with this stunning plant!
