Narrow-leaf cattail is a robust aquatic perennial perfectly suited for pond edges, rain gardens, and wetland restorations. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with its roots in standing water or permanently saturated soil, requiring virtually no supplemental care once established. Be aware that it can spread vigorously via rhizomes, so containment may be needed in smaller water features.
