Description
The graceful cattail is a perennial that spreads by rhizomes to form clumps of green foliage in shallow water. It likes rich, loamy soil.
It is not the tallest cattail. Its leaves are slender, round and pale green.
Light brown catkins appear in mid to late summer and give it a reed-like look.
Grow it in full sun or partial shade.
Slender, round, pale-green foliage. Grows 3 to 5 feet high and flowers in mid to late summer. Growing height: 3-5'. Planting depth: Top of the pot should be 0-6" below the water surface. Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Reed-like green leaves, light brown catkins appear in summer.
