Broadleaf Cattail

Description

Typha latifolia is a strong marginal aquatic plant used for bold structure at the pond edge. It forms upright narrow leaves and dense brown flower spikes that give a classic reedmace effect in naturalistic water planting. This species spreads by rhizomes and is best suited to larger pond settings or controlled planting where robust growth is welcome. It is commonly used in marsh, pond, and water-garden planting. Best for: natural ponds, marsh planting, wildlife edges, and bold vertical screens.
