Cyperus papyrus

American Papyrus is a dramatic aquatic perennial known for its tall, triangular stems topped with umbrella-like clusters of fine green bracts. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers consistently moist to wet soils and performs well in water features and pond margins. With its bold vertical form and architectural presence, American Papyrus is ideal for water gardens, rain gardens, and tropical landscapes seeking height, texture, and a striking focal accent.
