With Typha angustifolia (narrow-leaved cattail), you can design the pond edge and marsh zone naturally and with structure. The plant fits especially well in shallow bank areas, where its upright growth creates clear lines and makes the transition between water and garden appear harmonious. Thanks to its winter hardiness (zone 2–3), it is suitable for permanently designed pond areas and can – in the right location – 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 effective in group plantings or as a tranquil background for blooming marsh plants. Thanks to the recommended planting depth of 0 to –40 cm, you can use it flexibly – directly at the edge or in shallow planting baskets in the water.
The plant is delivered in an approx. 10 cm pot (basket/ready cultivation) and with a growth height of approx. 80–120 cm (depending on development stage). For good establishment, it is advisable to place the plant stably after planting and to choose a location that provides enough space for its development.
Important note: Please do not plant this species in open bodies of water such as lakes or biotopes, as aquatic plants can spread depending on their environment.
We pack your plants with great care to ensure they arrive in good health. Nevertheless, slight transport damage (e.g. brown leaves or bent shoots) may occasionally occur during postal shipping. Such visual impairments are generally uncritical for establishment.
Zoo-Roco tip: When planting cattails in the pond, place them in a planting basket and limit the root space. This keeps the shore area tidy, and you can easily move or divide the plant if necessary.
