For cattail lovers who prefer medieval weapons for fruits. The main stem branches off into little fruit bombs, with soft yellow fireworks up above at the top.

Gets tall and will spread by rhizome. Great vertical frog highways, watch them leap. Also excellent for dragonfly larvae to climb up on and molt into their adult awesomeness.
