Cyperus Miniature Umbrella Plant
Cyperus Miniature Umbrella Plant is a dwarf aquatic perennial featuring narrow stems topped with bright green, grass-like bracts that form a charming umbrella shape. Cyperus Miniature Umbrella Plant is a fast grower that readily produces new plants at the stem and leaf junctions, allowing it to spread easily. Because of this vigorous growth habit, Cyperus Miniature Umbrella Plant is best planted in containers or controlled water gardens.
This moisture-loving plant thrives in full sun and performs best in rich soils with consistently moist conditions or standing water. Cyperus Miniature Umbrella Plant is ideal for ponds, water features, and patio containers, but it will die back if exposed to frost, making it best suited for warm climates or seasonal displays.
