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 of Cattails so it is not invasive as others can be. This is a wonderful native plant. Most of it edible at some time. Young shoots can be cooked like asparagus, the pollen can be used as flour, and starch can be removed from the roots and used as flour. They are wonderfully decorative as a cut or dried flower, and can make a boring ditch beautiful.
