Cultural information: "Japanese Arrowhead" produces multiple white Poppy like flowers mid summer. The plant can be invasive... but since it's not winter hardy here in Colorado, that shouldn't be a problem. Set plants in  spring after danger of hard frost has passed at the ponds edge or directly in the pond at a maximum depth of 24". If your lucky enough to have an indoor pond... the plants may be lifted and over wintered inside. Remove any dead or dying foliage and flowers as it appears.
