Dwarf bulrush (Typha minima)
Also known as: Least bulrush, Dwarf reedmace
Dwarf bulrush is a popular hardy semi-evergreen for small ponds and large aquatic tubs. It is best planted in a water basket due to the creeping nature of its rhizomes. This pond plant flowers in the summer, with its seed heads bursting in the spring. It can be used for dried flower arrangements.
