Typha minima

Typha minima, commonly known as dwarf cattail, is a compact, clump-forming marginal aquatic perennial with narrow, upright green leaves forming tidy vertical stands along pond edges and shallow wetlands. In summer it produces small brown cylindrical flower spikes above the foliage, adding subtle vertical interest and texture to naturalistic water plantings.

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