Description

Typha angustifolia is a distinctive choice for naturalistic ponds and water features. Its narrow foliage and characteristic flower spikes provide seasonal interest, while its upright growth adds texture to waterside planting.

Often searched for as Typha gras, this plant is best suited to damp environments where it has enough space to grow and spread.

Pruning Advice

Remove dead or damaged leaves as needed. Old flower spikes can be cut back when they lose their appeal. Wear gloves when handling foliage and avoid disturbing wildlife around ponds.
