Typha minima, also known as the Miniature Bulrush, is a charming and compact aquatic plant that adds beauty and interest to ponds, water gardens, and wetland areas. Unlike its larger relatives, this miniature variety grows to a much smaller size, making it perfect for smaller spaces or for creating a striking focal point in garden water features.
Featuring tall, slender green leaves and characteristic cylindrical brown flower heads, Typha minima creates an elegant and graceful look at the water's edge. Its subtle height makes it a great choice for the margins of ponds or for planting in containers placed in shallow water. The plant also provides excellent wildlife benefits, offering shelter for small creatures and attracting pollinators.
This hardy plant thrives in moist, boggy soil or shallow water, and can tolerate full sun or partial shade. Typha minima is ideal for gardeners looking to introduce a touch of wildlife-friendly greenery to their aquatic environments without taking up too much space. Its unique, delicate appearance and versatile growing habits make it an excellent addition to your garden's water features. Height and spread: 60cm (24"). Planting depth: Zone 2 to 12cm (5") below water level.
Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
