The mission of the Sagittaria is the active approach in nature and landscape conservation, encouragement and initiative of activities resulting in sustainable development and use of resources.
One of the main objectives of the Sagittaria is to inform public about nature conservation and environmental issues with emphasis on nature values and its threats.
The Sagittaria is as well accredited land association and in certain cases it hires or buys land of present or potential high biological value.
Sagittaria is an emergent perennial aquatic plant up to 800mm in height.
Sagittaria grows in static or slow-moving freshwater such as drains, streams and pond margins, up to a depth of 450mm.
Sagittaria forms extensive infestations in shallow waterways, seriously restricting water flow and increasing sedimentation, thus aggravating flooding.
And what a group it is, the genus Sagittaria was at one time considered to contain over sixty species and varieties; big, small, some with very different submerged and emergent growth, differing markedly still under varying lighting and other growing conditions.
Sagittaria can of course be grown from seed or corm tubers.
The world of arrowheads is a dizzying mess in terms of easy identification of actually species and varieties; but a real dream in the way of hardy, adaptable plants for cool and tropical aquariums, greenhouses and outdoor ponds.
Sagittaria Subulata is an easy to grow rosette plant that will thrive in most aquariums.
Sagittaria subulata requires low to high lighting (1.5 - 4 watts/gal), Saggitaria Subulata grows quickly and propagates by runners which will form a dense grouping producing 2 - 3 leaves and one runner per month.
Sagittaria subulata does much better with sufficient iron fertilizer in the substrate.

Colin asked about the scientific name for 'Dwarf Sagittaria' Sagittaria subulata is common and widespread in South and North America.
For years Sagittaria subulata maintains its low growth form but dependent on for example age, light intensity and population density it suddenly stretches up to a height of 50 cm and sets flowers.
Replanted in the background of the aquariumSagittaria subulata often turns back into the low growth form.
Also called broadleaf arrowhead, wapato, and duck potato, Sagittaria latifolia is easily identified among other wetland vascular plants by its pointed arrow-shaped leaves (Sagittate means arrowhead shaped).
Other plants in the genus Sagittaria, with the exception of the Grass-leaved arrowhead (Sagittaria graminea), have roughly the same characteristics.

Asia now worldwide in most temperate and tropical areas.This species has been included in this survey only to demonstrate a use most Sagittarias have in SE Asia.
The rootstock or corm of many Sagittaria species and particularly S. sagittifolia is farmed as an edible vegetable – somewhat like taro.
I have also used its emerged leaf form to illustrate the extremes in shape.
