Sagittaria subulata is a small, spreading plant that works very well in a slower growth, lower light, planted community. It is one of only a few plants that will grow into a nice carpet in these conditions. It still requires patience, but especially if given a nutritious substrate, and allowed time, it will develop into a beautiful dense ground cover.
