Typha shuttleworthii - Marginal Pond Plants - MP138

Typha shuttleworthii is a compact species of cattail, well-suited for smaller ponds, wetlands, and water garden features. This hardy aquatic perennial produces distinctive cylindrical brown flower spikes that rise above narrow, upright green foliage, adding vertical interest to the landscape. Blooming in summer, the flowers transition into attractive seed heads that provide seasonal texture and serve as a food source for wildlife.

Thriving in shallow water or consistently moist soil, Typha shuttleworthii is an excellent choice for naturalized plantings, offering erosion control and habitat for pollinators and aquatic life. Its smaller stature compared to other cattail species makes it ideal for contained water gardens, while its low-maintenance nature ensures easy care throughout the seasons.
