'Cattail' or 'Common cattail' may be common names for 'Typha latifolia'. This wetland native may be both environmentally friendly and unfriendly. It's friendly in having edible and useful body parts. It also is friendly in attracting such zappers of insect pests as birds and frogs. It's friendly, too, in fighting erosion and in filtering pollutants and excess nutrients from runoff before it enters ponds and other area water bodies.But cattails may be unfriendly in their enthusiastic carrying out of their responsibilities as ground cover. So they're attractive, helpful, useful plants that handle life in wet soil. But they need to be watched, to make sure that there's room for other wet soil-loving herbaceous and woody plants.
