Tall green and white striped foliage highlighted by large brown catkins in summer.
Easily grown in rich loams in full sun to part shade in water to 12″ deep. Cattails are aggressive colonizers that if left unrestrained will crowd out most other marginal plants. Plant in containers or tubs to restrain spread. If planted directly in the muddy shallows of ponds or pools, site plants carefully because the roots go deep and are hard to eradicate once established. Plants may self-seed.
