Typha latifolia, the broadleaf cattail or common bulrush, is a common site across Canada in wet habitats where it will grow in water up to two feet deep. Its tall, upright, leathery leaves add a vertical display as do the distinctive cigar-shaped, dark brown inflorescences that persist for most of the season before breaking apart into white fluff. An important plant for bioremediation of contaminated sites, it also provides protective habitat for riparian birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. All parts of the plant are edible and it was used by First Nations peoples. The inflorescence is valuable as a cut flower.
