Common names include Arrow Arum, Green Arum, and Tuckahoe.
An aquatic perennial native to the eastern United States. It grows long stalks topped with a singular large, arrow-shaped leaf. This species is abundant in shallow waterways and can be found growing in large colonies. Green Arrow Arum grows slowly up to three feet tall. It produces clusters of small black berries.
Easily grown in standing water to 6″ deep in full sun to part shade. Tolerates full shade. Plants may also be grown in consistently moist boggy soils. Propagate by seed or division. Plants will form dense expanding clumps over time, but do not colonize as aggressively as the similar arrowhead (Sagittaria) does.
