Narrowleaf & Hybrid Cattail
(Typha angustifolia, Typha x glauca)
Cattails inhabit wet lowland areas and pond perimeters with the ability to grow in as much as 4 feet of water. The long, slender, grass-like stalks can reach 10 feet in height with mature plants producing a catkin in mid-summer. Both the narrowleaf and hybrid cattails are commonly confused with the native common cattail.
