HOW TO GROW
Sowing: In the spring, plant the arrow arum seeds just under the surface of muddy soil. The Peltandra Virginica seeds can also be planted in soil covered by up to 18 inches of water.
Growing: As the seedlings develop, make sure the soil is constantly saturated. Keep in mind that the seedlings require full sun, though mature plants can tolerate partial shade. The green arrow arum plant is an excellent choice for bog gardens, shallow ponds, and other wet areas. Mature plants can be divided for additional growth. The seeds of this plant attract mallards and other ducks.
Harvesting: The seeds of this plant provide a valuable food source for mallards and other ducks.
Seed Saving: As the arrow arum flower spike matures, a pod containing a cluster of round green seeds will develop. Collect the seeds as soon as they turn from green to black, but before they loosen from the cluster and drop. Keep in mind that ducks are highly attracted to these seeds and may eat them as they ripen.

So hard to find these seeds!
These seeds came in the foil packet, stored damp. They went into the fridge a week and several were already sprouting! Nice healthy shoots ready to go! So happy to find you carry these. Fully expect to have success even though this is my first time growing a water plant. The packets arrived in excellent shape, seeds were well protected in those foil packs
Foil packs really great
This type of seed is so hard to grow because it needs to be kept damp. Everwilde sent the seeds so quickly and the new packets have good instructions on them. Would like for catalog to list if it's native to Eastern or western US.
Nothing sprouted
Ordered two of the 1oz packets and planted them in starter containers so they would be ready to plant in my pond. It is now May and not a single one has sprouted. They were kept moist the entire time. Horrible!
Arrow Arum seeds
I'm pleased with the germinate rate of the last seeds that I ordered. So far I have 19 of the 40 seeds that have sprouted. I planted my first order in two local ponds and haven't checked them recently. I would recommend the seeds if you have a good place to start them. I used a large galvanized trough with holes drilled through the bottom set in a plastic cement mixing tray with enough water to keep the soil wet. Once the air temps started reaching 80 degrees the seeds began to sprout.
Arum Arrow seeds
The seeds looked good and were packed well. Just planted them around a local pond so time will tell. Lots of wood ducks and geese so we are hoping they do well.
