Lesser Reedmace

Typha angustifolia


Smaller than Typha latifolia but still a large Typha with dark chocolate coloured seed heads. It is reported that the roots have been used in Asia to combat dysentery. The attractive seed heads area frequently used by florists.

This plant will die back to its basket for winter, and begin growing again in the spring. Trim off brown stems/leaves in the autumn to tidy it up.

The recommended depth in water is calculated as the distance between the top of the basket and the water surface. Therefore "0" would be the basket rim at the water surface.

This plant is supplied in a standard plastic plant pot. It will benefit from being repotted into a mesh basket. See our range here.
