Herb of the Week - Cattail

I am setting this up on a separate blog that will eventually 

be an easy to use resource down the line.

So click the link below to see it uses and bookmark the blog for weekly installments.

I will be posting an herb of the week every Tuesday. I find it is easy to remember things like this when you get them in small doses.

Broadleaf Cattail (Typha latifolia L. )

The stalk grows 4 to 8 feet tall. It  grows near water in thick stands. Leaves are large spear-shaped. Stalks are topped with hotdog-shaped, dark brown flowers. Young flowers start growing May through July.
