This hardy native perennial is prized for its elegant, upright foliage, delicate white flowers, and exceptional adaptability to wet environments.

Waterfowl, including ducks, readily feed on its seeds and underground tubers, while other birds and wetland animals also benefit from the plant. The underground tubers are also edible for humans when properly prepared and have been traditionally harvested by Indigenous peoples throughout parts of its native range.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eThis versatile native performs beautifully in full sun to partial shade and thrives in consistently moist soil or shallow water several inches deep.
