WATER SMARTWEED 
(Polygonum Ampliebium) 
Wild Ducks like the seeds of Water Smartweed, 
particularly Mallards, Blacks, Pintail and Teal. They 
have to work hard to find the meaty black seeds in 
the soils and helps to hold these ducks on your 
waters. 
WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
Water Smartweed may be planted from March 
through July. It will grow in wet soils or shallow 
waters, preferably on a mud bottom soil. Due to 
it being very hardy it will grow in either northern 
or southern climate. Waters that are fresh, mod- 
erately acid or mildly alkaline are ideal. 
HOW TO PLANT 
The Water Smartweed reproduces by both seeds 
and roots. Seeds being difficult to store and pre- 
serve the germination of, we therefore recommend 
the planting of root sections, for quick and good

results. Just fasten the root to a 8 penny nail 
with a No. 6 rubber band (see how to plant Wild 
Celery) and drop in the waters at the desired place 
for growth. They will take hold promptly.
