Description: 200+ Cattail Seeds (Typha latifolia) Common Cat tail, Fresh Seeds. Seed fluff can also be used like cotton balls to staunch a wound, and poultices made from crushed cattail roots can be used on cuts, stings, burns, and bruises. The leaves can be woven together to make temporary shelters, mats, chairs, baskets, and hats. Cattails are important to wildlife, and many species are also cultivated ornamentally as pond plants and for dried-flower arrangements. The long flat leaves of the common cattail (Typha latifolia) are used especially for making mats and chair seats. The starchy rhizomes are eaten in some places. There are many edible parts of the cattail plant, including the roots, pollen, shoots, stalks, flowers, and seed heads. Cattail leaves can be eaten but are more commonly dried and used to make baskets. Cattails also provide two forms of antiseptic; both the ashes from burned cattail leaves and the droplets of sap that form at the plant's base can be applied to wounds to keep them from getting infected. The sap can also be used on toothaches. Shoots and Stalks: In the spring, you can harvest both the new shoots and the white parts of the cattail stalks near the roots. You can cook and serve the shoots and stalks like asparagus, or you can clean them, slather on some peanut butter and eat them fresh.FREE shipping, NO Tracking.

Please consult with your doctor or professional herbalist prior any use of this herb/plant. *SEEDS DISCLAIMER* Most specialty seeds we offer are NOT fast to germinate. Many take several weeks, months, and some even up towards a year depending on dormancy, region, season etc. It is important that the buyer understands that seeds are perishable products and seed germination can be adversely affected by such factors as mold/fungus, bugs, temperature, moisture content, light intensity, dormancy, care, contamination of planting media among many other reasons. Germination recommendations are sent with each order and the buyer is free to research and use their own methods. Floating seeds do not always indicate that the seed is not viable. Many times, it is a misconception because the seed does not have the density to sink in water. Accordingly, The Plant Attraction does not guarantee seeds to perform properly regardless of conditions or buyer's methods or soil/water/lighting.
