Arrowhead Plant

A traveling vine for shade. Wash your hands after handling.

Type: Perennial

Sun / water: Full shade to partial sun / water as needed; pretty hardy when grown in shade

When I plant it: Late winter, early summer, even during the hot summer, though it struggles a bit if it is not in shade when planted in the heat.

What I’ve seen

Arrowhead is a vining plant and will travel. It spreads across the ground, and if a stem drops from a hanging basket it is happy to take up residence wherever there is dirt.

How I use it

Primarily for looks. It can be toxic when handled and especially if eaten, so wash your hands after handling.
