Sagittaria Graminea has sagittarius -shaped leaves (hence its name) which grow in tight groups from the base of the plant. The leaves are green and can reach up to 10 cm in length. The plant also produces floating stems on which white or pink flowers are formed in the shape of a bell. Flowering takes place in summer.
