Pickerel Weed

From LoveToKnow Garden

Pickerel Weed (Pontederia) - P. cordata is one of the handsomest water plants, combining grace of habit and leaf with beauty of flower. It forms thick tufts of almost arrow-shaped, long-stalked leaves, from 1 1/2 to over 2 feet high, crowned with spikes of blue flowers. P. angustifolia has narrower leaves. Both should be planted in shallow pools of water. Division of tufts at any season. N. America.
