Cyperus alternifolius

Cyperus alternifolius


Family:Cyperaceae 


Umbrella Sedge, Galingale, Papyrus 

Use this plant along the shores of lakes, ponds, and slow moving streams to create masses of hazy light green foliage. A single clump can serve as a focal point, or use in pairs to frame a scene. When used in smaller pools and fishponds, grow papyrus in containers placed underwater.
