The Creeping burhead is a large swamp plant that can be found from eastern North America to South America. It can be found near lakes, ponds, ditches, and swamps. Echinodorus cordifolius can grow submerged for a period of time, producing short-stalked leaves. However, under favorable conditions long-stalked, broadly heart-shaped aerial leaves will appear. The plant produces long inflorescences with showy white flowers and adventitious plantlets on a regular basis. The name "creeping burhead" refers to how older inflorescences with developing young plants lay down on the ground.sia.
