Typha minima
Miniature Cat-tail |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 8.360.050
Like a miniature version of our native Cat-tail, this is a great choice for planting beside a pond or stream. Plants form a clump of narrow, grassy leaves, bearing upright stems of fat, round brown cat-tail flowers during the summer. These remain attractive well into the winter. Excellent for cutting. Roots spread to form a patch when grown in the open ground. Clumps may be divided in early spring. Easily grown in a tub, set into a water feature so it remains constantly moist.
