Great Reed Mace (Typha latifolia)
Great Reed Mace (Typha latifolia) is a native shallow water plant often called Bulrush. The leaves are tall long and elegant and the brown, poker seedheads are carried on tall strong stems. It is a very architectural plant and the seed heads will stand all winter providing seasonal interest and are a great food source for wild birds. It is a beautiful tall reed and when at full height is truly spectacular.
- Wildlife friendly
- This is a vigorous plant when planted directly into the soil and if left it will spread naturally. It can be contained in a large pot (check regularly for escaping roots) and pot on into larger pots are required.
- Height up to 250cm (100in)
- Planting depth 0-50cm (0-20in) of water over soil level.
- Fully hardy cut back in the spring taking care not to damage the new growth.
- We would recommend a planting basket of at least 19cm across for one plant or, for more impact, plant several of the same variety in a larger basket.
- Product Code: M1010
- We ship all marginal water plants bare root, this means that we wash the soil off before packing plants. During the summer months we may need to trim some of the foliage back for shipping.
