Cyperus prolifer 'Little Prince'

Cyperus prolifer 'Little Prince'

 - comm. Dwarf Egyptian Papyrus

Ancient Egyptians would use this type of Cyperus to create papyrus writing canvas, hence the species name ‘papyrus’. This is an architectural beauty, with large umbels at the terminals of sturdy green, reed-like stems. Ideal for any situation, container or border, including water gardens for spring and summer as it’s not a winter hardy variety.
