With Typha angustifolia (narrow-leaved cattail), you can design pond edges and marsh zones naturally and with structure. The plant is particularly well suited to shallow banks, where its upright growth ensures clear lines and creates a harmonious transition between water and garden. Thanks to its winter hardiness (zone 2–3), it is suitable for permanently designed pond areas and – in the right location – can remain part of your pond planting for many years.
The flowering period from July to September makes the narrow-leaved cattail an attractive companion in the summer and late season. It is especially attractive in group plantings or as a calm background for flowering marsh plants. Thanks to the recommended planting depth of 0 to –40 cm, you can use it flexibly – directly on the edge or in shallow planting baskets in the water.
The plant is supplied in an approx. 9 cm pot (basket/ready-grown culture) and with a growth height of approx. 80–120 cm (depending on development stage). For good establishment, it is advisable to place the plant securely after planting and choose the location so that it has enough space to develop.
Important note: Please do not plant this plant in open waters such as lakes or biotopes, as aquatic plants can spread depending on the environment.
We pack your plants with great care to ensure they arrive healthy. Nevertheless, minor transport damage may occasionally occur during postal shipping (e.g. brown leaves or bent shoots). Such cosmetic damage is generally not critical for establishment.
Zoo-Roco tip: If you are planting cattails in the pond, place them in a planting basket and limit the root area. This keeps the bank area neat, and you can easily move or divide the plant if required.
