It has been proposed that the species was introduced from Europe to North
America. In North America, it is also thought to have been introduced from coastal to inland locations. It is widely distributed in temperate and subtropical regions, growing in marshes, wetlands, and along the edges of ponds

The plant's leaves are flat, very narrow (¼"–½" wide), and 3'–6' tall when mature; 12–16 leaves arise from each vegetative shoot. At maturity, they have distinctive stalks that are about as tall as the leaves; the stalks are topped with brown, fluffy, sausage-shaped flowering heads. The plants have

Several parts of the plant are edible, including during various seasons the dormant sprouts on roots and bases of leaves, the inner core of the stalk, green bloom spikes, ripe pollen, and starchy roots. It can be prepared in the same way as
