An evergreen, compact grass-like plant with tassel-like foliage that grows on shorter stems.
Suitable to grow in containers and in the landscape as a focal point around edges of water gardens, ponds and damp garden positions.
Great in landscapes and containers. It is a controlled growth thriller for combination recipes and is great in landscapes as well. It can be used at pond edges and grown in water gardens as well as in typical garden beds and containers.
Cyperus is not hardy enough to survive winters with freezing temperatures and it is not a candidate to overwinter inside. It is a very fast grower and will quickly grow to impressive size when replanted in the spring. The crown of the plant should never be covered in water and in fact both of these varieties can thrive in water as shallow as a few inches. The purpose is to keep the bulk of the soil or root mass wet.
The root ball can be submerged but it isn't necessary. If the plant is put into a pot, we would suggest plugging the hole or holes in the bottom of the pot to keep as much water as possible in the pot.
Prince Tut and King Tut will also do well when planted in normal garden beds. It is best to keep the soil moist, but once established they can be surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions.
