Also known as Arrow Grass, this plant is from the Juncaginaceae family. This hardy Aussie native will provide habitat for our native frogs and will attract beneficial insects to the pond. 

The tubers are an edible bush food as are the lower parts of the stem and fruit.

A great choice for mass planting in boggy regions or shallow margins of the pond.
