Cyperus Papyrus
Cyperus haspan (Dwarf Papyrus) is a rhizomatous aquatic perennial
forming a tuft of upright, three-angled, green stems. Atop the stem
rests a rounded spiked umbel of yellow-green florets that turn bronze
in late summer. Providing year-round interest, this member of the
sedge family is a charming addition to the water garden thanks to
its delicate evergreen appearance and fireworks-like flower heads.
