CYPERUS NILE QUEEN
Grower Notes:

Cyperus papyrus 'Nile Queen' is more commonly known as Nile Queen Papyrus. This is a shorter variety of Egyptian Papyrus. It grows up to 4 feet tall. It adapts well to growing in or out of water and handles lower light levels better than its big brother - Giant Papyrus. Ideal for growing near ponds.

Cyperus (Papyrus) are mostly aquatic and grow in still or slow-moving water up to 20 inches deep. They vary greatly in size with varying stems that can be either circular or triangular with grass-like leaves. Many species have unique umbrella-like clusters of flowers at the top of their stems. Many thrive in a variety of habitats, including wetlands, marshes, and even deserts. This is a fun and interesting plant that will undoubtedly create a showy focal point for your summer garden or waterway.
