Sparganium longifolium

Sparganium longifolium, commonly known as long-leaved bur-reed, is a perennial plant native to the wetlands of Buryatiya, Kamchatka, and North European Russia. This plant thrives in light conditions ranging from full sun to partial shade and prefers soils that are light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay). It grows best in wet environments, making it a valuable addition to water gardens or bog areas. Known for its edible parts, particularly the seeds, long-leaved bur-reed is both ornamental and useful, adding a distinctive touch of greenery to aquatic landscapes while providing a food source.
