Cyperus 'Graceful Grasses Prince Tut'


Dwarf Egyptian Papyrus

A nicely compact form of Egyptian Papyrus, about half the height of King Tut, but with the same large poms on the ends of the stems. Fun and interesting, without being so overwhelmingly huge. With shorter stems than King Tut, Prince Tut is quite sturdy and less likely to have stems flop. The plant can be planted in pots, along the waters edge of a pond, or even in a pond. The crown of the plant should never be covered in water and it can thrive in water as shallow as a few inches. The purpose is to keep the bulk of the soil or root mass wet. Prince Tut will also do well when planted in normal garden beds. It is best to keep the soil moist, but once established Prince Tut has proven to be surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions.
