Papyrus is well known at least by name.
Growing famously on the banks of the Nile it has had many many uses over the years, most famously in the production of paper (hence the name). It will grow to 2m+ in the right conditions! with its statuesque stems and delicate feathery heads this is one of the most remarked on plants here at the nursery.

Site: Conservatory or heated greenhouse. Is best but will grow in a bright room.

Temp:They love it warm!. Keep above 7 degrees Celsius over winter to keep it evergreen. Will take it down to about 2 and grow back the following spring.

Water: Water well in the growing season. Best kept in a tray of water (or the pond) over summer. Over winter take out of water but do not let it dry out.

Feeding: Good compost is the key but a monthly feed with a high nitrogen food will give it a boost.

Tip: Pot it up when you can for fast and vigorous growth.
