Notes: Dwarf cattails make a gorgeous display of short grasses along
the edges of a pond or in the tub water garden. The catskin formed is
approximately 1" in size and produces the white bloom typical of all
cattails. The catskin holds both the male and female flowers, with the
male flowers on the top half and the female flowers on the lower half.
