not valid on prior purchases • cash & carry
Dwarf Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus ‘Little Tut’) is a compact cultivated variety of Egyptian papyrus growing 18″-24″ tall and wide. It grows from rhizomes in sun to part-sun locations where water is plentiful, such as pond margins or moist gardens, and is perfect for adding an exotic flair to container gardens mixed with other moisture-loving plants. Little Tut is a tropical plant and should be protected from frost. Keep yours thriving with applications of Espoma Organic Plant-Tone fertilizer and maintain its appearance by trimming brown stems down to a few inches from the ground, where new shoots will soon sprout up from. If used in your pond, Little Tut can provide shelter and habitat for aquatic insects, frogs, small fish, and dragonflies.
Fun Fact!
Dragonflies use the umbrella like foliage of papyrus to perch on and hunt from. Dragonflies will also use frilly tops to lay their eggs on.
