Description
Cyperus papyrus, or Papyrus, is an aquatic plant known for its historical significance in ancient Egypt. It is a tall, grass-like plant with distinctive, umbrella-like umbels at the top of its stems. It requires a moist or aquatic environment to thrive, and it is a beautiful addition to ponds and water gardens. The stems were used to make paper, and the plant is still cultivated for ornamental purposes. Grow it in full sun or partial shade. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant, but it does need plenty of water. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out.
