Overview

This fast-growing bulrush will soon form a generous clump of slender, upright foliage, that's accompanied by cylindrical, reddish brown flowerspikes in midsummer. Its thick and fleshy rhizomes will quickly spread in shallow water, forming a dense colony around the edges of a pond. Its vigorous growth makes it unsuitable for smaller water features (opt instead for Typha minima where space is limited), but when fully established and forming large drifts, it looks pretty impressive!

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
