Where To Find Cattails
Cattails are perennial wetland plants found growing above the surface of the water in marshes, ditches, shoreline shallow areas of lakes, ponds, slow streams, quiet water up to 4 feet deep, and seasonal flood areas.
Although widespread throughout most of North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, cattails are not llikely to grow in depths exceeding 18" to 24" or areas not wet most of the growing season.
Cattail seeds germinate in April and plants mature from July through August.
