Thrives in a moist to wet soil, or planted along water edges where the roots are submerged no deeper than 30 cm. Good for naturalizing, garden ponds and water gardens. Will self-sow aggressively in a suitable setting.
The word alisma is derived from the Celtic word meaning water. It has many medicinal uses, including treatment of rabies, hence the common name "Mad-Dog Weed".
