How tall are your dwarf cattails?

[dandyliondancer]

Typha minima

Most sources list them as about 2' tall, though i saw one source list them as 2-3.5 ft.

i have a well established clump i bought several years ago that grow to about 4 ft. They are feeling a bit tall for the space i have them in. i would love a clump that stayed at 2 or 2.5 ft.

are there cultivars or varieties that do stay that small is it an exageration. its hard to tell, but many of the images on google look taller.

Mine never stay that small they are over4' , so I cut them back and they come right back.

You might want to look into the micro-mini variety.

I have and sell cattails. They grow to 5' tall. I don't ship these so locals only.

My mini cats are about knee high. Under 24"

Mine are creeping into the 3 foot range. The minis supposedly don't get over 2' or even 1'. Seeing that my dwarf cattails will probably reach 4-5' is a little disappointing... Might look stupid in my setup.

When I bought the dwarf cattails I have now, they said 1-2'. Mine are 3 1/2 feet now. If I knew they were going to get this big, I wouldn't have purchased them. I have to give them a "hair cut" to keep them from hitting and bending underneath the sun screen I built for my garden pond.

They were given to me so I don't know the variety
