Typha angustifolia

Typha angustifolia, commonly known as narrowleaf cattail, is a tall, clump-forming marginal aquatic perennial with slender, upright green leaves forming dense, vertical stands along pond edges and wetlands. In summer it produces characteristic brown cylindrical flower spikes above the foliage, adding strong vertical structure and architectural interest to water gardens and naturalistic plantings.

This species thrives in shallow water or consistently moist soil and provides ecological value by offering shelter and habitat for insects, amphibians, and wetland wildlife. Its vigorous, upright habit and tolerance of waterlogged conditions make it ideal for pond margins, lakesides, and wildlife-focused planting schemes.
