Description
Cyperus papyrus, commonly known as papyrus, is a striking aquatic perennial native to Africa. It thrives in wetlands, marshes, and the banks of rivers, making it a popular plant for water gardens and moist landscaping in Cyprus. Reaching heights of up to 3 meters, its tall, bright green stems are topped with feathery umbels that add architectural beauty. It requires consistently moist or aquatic soil and full sun to partial shade. Although generally pest-resistant, it can be susceptible to fungal diseases in overly saturated conditions. Papyrus is low maintenance and ideal for those looking to enhance a garden near water features.
