Shallow Water Plants 
These beautiful edging plants with their bright flowers have a very definite place in the pond, which is 
not balanced without them. Most all shallow water plants are very good oxygenators. 
Arrowhead, Giant (Sagittaria sagittifolia).—Dis¬ 
tinctive leaves shaped as name indicates, and 
standing 1 to 3 feet above water. Flowers freely 
in a series of white spikes. Hardy. 
Azolla (Azolla Caroliniana).—Small crinkly, green 
plants resembling floating leaves of arborvitae. 
Autumn sunlight turns Azolla a deep red. 
Cat-Tail (Typha latifolia). — One of the favorite 
native swamp plants. Hardy. 
Floating Heart (Nymphoides peltatum).—This plant 
has leaves like the nymphaeas and produces 
brilliant yellow flowers guite freely. It is hardy 
and will do well in water or on the border.
