Papyrus generally aren’t hardy where extended freezing temperatures occur. The flower clusters appear at the ends of the rays. All three papyrus selections feature triangular green stems topped by an umbrella-like inflorescence with 100’s of thread-like rays. There is even Baby Tut, which at less than 2 feet tall would be fantastic in a container. I grew Prince Tut in my landscape in a large terra cotta container that is perfect for displaying the three foot plant. If you want that exotic look but have a small growing space there are a couple of smaller choices.
King Tut is a member of the same papyrus family of plants that the ancient Egyptians used to make paper and the dramatic appearance makes for great conversation with the connection to the distant past.
This grass-like plant can easily grow to 6 feet tall and has a striking presence in the landscape.
