Description
Typically found in shallow wetlands, growing 3-4′ tall and in a colony ranging 6′-65′. Prefers full sun but can exist in partial shade. Broad, wedge-shaped leaves with white, 3-lobed flowers July – September tolerate a wide range of water levels including inundation, water currents and waves. Also known as Duck Potato, Indian Potato or Wapato, the starchy, edible tuber it is used traditionally and celebrated by Native Americans. It is noted that the Duck Potato is likely what sustained the Lewis and Clark explorers through a very cold and wet winter of 1805-1806 as supplies became scarce and wild game was limited. The tubers are also a favorite food of muskrats, beavers and geese and ducks in more shallow waters.
