Cyperus papyrus, Perkamentus - 8"

Elevate your water garden to new heights with Cyperus papyrus 'Perkamentus', the exotic Dwarf Egyptian Papyrus! This plant is a miniature version of the classic papyrus, with its unique, umbrella-like clusters of thread-thin, green leaves that dance on the wind, creating a dramatic, yet graceful focal point in any pond or water feature. Each stem can grow up to 18-24” tall, offering a vertical element without overwhelming smaller spaces.

For those in USDA Hardiness Zone 6a, Perkamentus is not fully hardy, meaning it will need protection during winter, either by moving it indoors or treating it as an annual. This dwarf variety not only adds an ancient, tropical vibe but also aids in water purification by absorbing nutrients, helping to maintain clarity while providing shelter for aquatic creatures. Its unique form and lush foliage make it an irresistible addition, turning your water garden into a piece of living history.
