Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • Cattails grow best in shallow water along pond edges or in swamps. They provide cover and food for wildlife. Roots can go deep, and become difficult to remove. If planting in small ponds, a root restrainer will be necessary. Plugs are sold in full flats only.
Note

Additional Notes

  • Native to Ontario, and most of the world. Seeds, stems and roots are edible cooked, mashed, or ground into powders.
