Lakes and rivers; also ditches, ponds, bogs; usually in fairly shallow water (to 1.5 m) but recorded at depths to 3.7 m.
This species almost never fails to produce floating leaves, and can hardly be confused with any other (but see comments under P. oakesianus). Upper portions (lacking submersed leaves) of such species as P. nodosus and P. amplifolius with large floating leaf blades may nearly always be distinguished by their rounded or tapered bases. Furthermore, in P. natans the petiole generally has a rather sharp bend and a band of different (lighter) color at the junction with the cordate blade. P. pulcher also has cordate floating leaves, but the fruit is prominently keeled and the broad submersed leaves are generally evident.
