Re: cattails in containers
I don't know about dwarfing cattails in a container, but at Costco
yesterday, I was looking at a number of plants they had with the bulbs
and one section wasy water lillies and bog plants. One was a Dwarf
Cattail. the photo showed a cattail that was fat and very short. Almost
like a ball on the top of the stem. I thought dwarfed ones would be
merely small, slender versions of the wild ones. This one really looked
different. Maybe it is a true dwarf.
We have lots of wild one. The new green fruiting parts make excellent
eating. Sort of a cross between the flavor of peas and asparagus. Steam
them lightly, add a little butter and eat like corn on the cob.
