Other: Cattails are an excellent choice for wet areas. Their beautiful seed heads provide a great source to a wide variety of birds including song birds. This variety of Cattail does not spread as quickly as other varieties, making it less invasive. It is a native plant with most parts being edible at some stage. Young shoots can be cooked like asparagus, pollen can be used as flour, and starch from the roots can be extracted for use as flour. They also serve as decorative elements when used as cut or dried flowers, enhancing the beauty of mundane environments.
