PEPYRUS GRASS

Pepyrus plants are sometimes thought of as ornamental grasses but they are not true grasses. A sedge is defined as a grass-like plant with triangular stems and inconspicuous flowers, usually growing in wet areas. Papyrus is a tall, stately plant. Papyrus is primarily a foliage plant and the accompanying bracts (modified leaves) make the umbels pop and give them strong visual appeal. Be aware that this is a fast-growing and spreading plant and is one of many sedges known to impede waterways and encroach on native plants.
