Details

Cyperus papyrus 'King Tut' is a vigorous, grass-like foliage plant with giant, fine bladed 'pom-poms' on top. Egyptian Papyrus adds graceful, dramatic height to any landscape, large container or water feature. Can even be planted directly in a pond, however, the crown of the plant should never be covered in water. Though considered a water garden plant, King Tut does great under normal watering regimes in the ground or containers.

Growing Tips

Becomes very root bound in containers and hard to remove the root ball (after it has died in the winter) if the container is narrower at the rim than the body.
