The dwarf sagittaria (Sagittaria subulata) is a commonly available, hardy aquatic plant that is perfect for beginners. There has been some concern that the term sagittaria subulata is misleading for this tiny plant, and it may actually refer to a similar species native to the southern United States and not the species found in eastern United States. But at this time, issues surrounding the name of this plant have not been resolved.
