Egyptian Papyrus

Egyptian Papyrus

Cyperus papyrus

Looking to make a really big statement? Egyptian Papyrus  is the perfect accent plant to make a dramatic impact in the landscape. Plants will easily peak 6-feet tall when planted in moist garden soil or along a pond’s edge. However, when bound in a container, Egyptian Papyrus  stays to respectable proportions, thus making it an excellent accent that blends well in mixed containers. Graceful clumping reed with distinctive “tufts” at tops of stems. Protect from wind. Needs regular water.
