Pontederia cordata 'Giant', commonly known as giant pickerelweed, is an upright, clump-forming perennial with large, lance-shaped green leaves forming bold, architectural foliage. In summer it produces spikes of tubular, vivid blue-violet flowers with yellow throats, creating a striking and dramatic display along pond margins and in shallow water.
This cultivar is valuable for pollinators, especially bees and butterflies, and supports wetland biodiversity. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist or shallowly submerged soil make it ideal for pond edges, bog gardens, and naturalistic water features.
