Cyperus Alternifolius Umbrella Reid

Cyperus alternifolius or umbrella grass is a rush-like aquatic with foliage arranged on stems like the ribs of an umbrella! Cyperus grow well outside in the UK and in trials ours have grown to approx 80cm tall clump in 1 season giving planty of water! Planting next to or in a pond is the ideal condition, however we have grown these in poorly drained soil and watered regularly with success. In milder areas of the UK, Cyperus may be left outside overwinter but in more harsh areas bring them inside for winter.You can easily divide Cyperus stems in early autumn to produce more plants for the spring. Can be grown indoors all year round in a pot and kept well watered.
