This plant grows in wet
areas and sometimes in shallow water in both fresh and brackish tidal
marshes. It can be found in low savannas, thin woods and open meadows as
well as along the edges of swamps, rivers banks. It is a good alternative to
planting Cattails as it is not as aggressive as the Cattails. Grows 3 to
4 feet tall and makes ideal nesting for wild ducks and pheasants.
