Description

"Sagittaria pusilla", also known as Sagittaria subulata var. pusilla, grows to a lower height than its parent species when cultivated in similar conditions. The overall height of Sagittaria subulata forms depends on cultivation conditions. While there is a form that consistently remains low under the same conditions, it is rarely cultivated. However, "Sagittaria pusilla" plants can still reach heights of up to 30 cm or more.
