Sagittaria subulata – dwarf sag- Arrowhead (bare root)

Looking for a plant that won’t dwarf your pond but still packs a punch? Say hello to Sagittaria subulata, a.k.a. Dwarf Sag! Don’t let its narrow leaves fool you – this little guy is an oxygenating powerhouse that every pond owner needs.

At 6 to 12 inches tall, Dwarf Sag looks like the aquatic version of a green-haired punk rocker. And just like a punk rocker, it likes to multiply rapidly and populate any soil it can get its roots into. Plus, it’s got some seriously cool small white blossoms that bloom above the water if you plant it in the shallows.

Not only does Dwarf Sag provide a natural and attractive grass-like decoration to your pond, but it also sucks up excess nutrients, beats out algae, and clarifies and oxygenates the water. It’s basically a one-stop-shop for all your pond-cleaning needs. Some gardeners even use pea gravel and plant hundreds of Dwarf Sagittaria for a DIY natural filter – that’s like a mullet for your pond, business in the back and party in the front!

But wait, there’s more! Dwarf Sagittaria also works wonders in aquariums. It’s a great foreground plant in large tanks, or a mid-ground option in smaller ones. And if you’ve got baby koi fry, Dwarf Sag provides excellent hiding spots and protection – it’s like a daycare center for your fish.

Sold per cup, Dwarf Sag is the ultimate pond and aquarium wingman. So get ready to impress your fish and your friends with this versatile and totally awesome plant.
