Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) is a statuesque water plant with a rich history. Grown for its tall and flamboyant umbrella-like foliage, papyrus is a dramatic addition to any backyard but has a specific growing need.
It needs a moist environment and prefers standing water, with papyrus ideal for planting on the edge of shallow ponds or growing as water garden plants. If their moisture needs are met, they are easy-to-grow plants that can put on a spectacular show.
