Green arrow arum exhibits broad, frequently arrowhead-shaped foliage which can vary in dimensions, emanating from a robust, subaquatic rhizome. These leaves demonstrate resilience in areas of water with low oxygen content. In its blooming season, which occurs in the spring, a spadix inflorescence is characteristic, surrounded by the plant's larger foliage. As seasons change, the plant may behave as deciduous or evergreen depending on the region, with leaves measuring up to 2 feet (60 cm) in environments conducive to its growth.
