Marsh Arrow Grass

Marsh Arrow Grass (Triglochin palustris) is a perennial graminoid native to a wide range of regions including North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa. It thrives in wet environments such as marshes and along waterways. Known for its edible seed and stem, this plant can be found across a broad spectrum of habitats from Alaska to Xinjiang, and from Afghanistan to Ukraine. Its preference for light (sandy), medium, or heavy clay soils with a pH between 7.5 and 8 makes it adaptable to various growing conditions. With a hardiness range of 4-8, Marsh Arrow Grass can tolerate temperatures typical of zones 4 through 8. This plant is distinguished by its ability to grow in wetter areas and its use as an edible source for both seeds and stems.
