Cleopatra Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus 'Cleopatra')
Cleopatra Papyrus is a compact, architectural papyrus with sturdy green stems topped by airy umbrella-like heads; perfect for containers, patios, and pond margins where its textural form brings a lush, tropical look.
Distinctive Features
Umbrella Heads: Dense whorls of fine bracts create a fountain silhouette with soft motion in breeze; Compact Habit: Shorter, sturdier growth than species for easier placement and container culture.
Growing Conditions
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to light shade; brightest in at least 6 hours of sun.
- Soil: Rich loam or aquatic planting mix; thrives at pond edges or in heavy containers.
- Water: Keep continuously moist; tolerate 1 to 4 in of standing water above the crown in warm weather.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 9 to 11 (grow as a summer annual or overwinter indoors in colder zones).
- Mature Size: About 3 to 5 ft tall and 2 to 3 ft wide in favorable conditions.
- Bloom Time: Inconspicuous brownish spikelets in summer; grown primarily for foliage.
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral, about 6.0 to 7.2.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Bold, architectural stems anchor water features and modern containers.
- Water Gardens: Excellent marginal plant for ponds and rain gardens.
- Containers: Thrives in large, watertight pots or cachepots kept consistently wet.
- Screening: Upright plumes create a soft, textural privacy veil.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Never let the root zone dry; top up pots frequently or stand containers in trays of water.
- Pruning: Remove spent stems at the base to maintain tidy clumps and encourage new shoots.
- Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with aquatic or balanced liquid fertilizer.
- Mulching: Not needed in water; in soil, use a thin compost layer to retain moisture.
- Notes: Frost tender; overwinter indoors in bright light and high humidity; watch for spider mites in dry rooms.
