I wouldn't start cattails. A buddy did 2 years ago and just last year his stance was (I like them over on the other side of the pond. They aren't bad at all!) This year his stance is "They're a PITA and are trying to take over the whole pond. I don't care if I take out some of the marginals along with the cattails, I'm going to nuke them all with glyphosate."

Right Mikey??? grin

And just today he said he wanted to plant White Fragrant Lilies. I'm going to wait a couple of years and say "I told you so!" laugh (again laugh laugh wink grin )

I'll dig up the info and send it to you via PM.
