Typha latifolia ‘Variegata’ | Variegated cattail | Marginal Plant

• Marginal Plant - submerge slightly
• Plant in sun or partial shade in wet soil or water
• A bright and versatile accent plant
• Low maintenance and beneficial to wildlife

This stunning cattail features broad leaves attractively variegated with bold longitudinal creamy-white or yellowish stripes, providing a dramatic visual impact and brightening pond margins.

It produces the typical dense, brown, sausage-shaped seed heads in summer, offering the familiar cattail silhouette but with an ornamental foliage twist. It is beneficial for wildlife, though its primary appeal is visual.

While still a strong grower, it's generally considered less vigorous and aggressive in its spread than the non-variegated species, making it more suitable for ornamental ponds. Hardy and low maintenance.

Grow in full sun to partial shade (best variegation in full sun) in shallow water up to 6 inches (15cm) deep or boggy soil. A fantastic architectural accent plant for medium to large ponds.
