Though considered a water garden plant, King Tut does great under normal watering regimes in the ground or containers.īecomes very root bound in containers and hard to remove the root ball (after it has died in the winter) if the container is narrower at the rim than the body. King Tut papyrus grass is often grown in pots or other containers for this reason, but the plant will best overwinter in a sunroom or a greenhouse. Can even be planted directly in a pond, however, the crown of the plant should never be covered in water. Egyptian Papyrus adds graceful, dramatic height to any landscape, large container or water feature.
You won't be disappointed!Ĭyperus papyrus 'King Tut' is a vigorous, grass-like foliage plant with giant, fine bladed 'pom-poms' on top. The past two summers, Ive planted it in a container on the patio, along with some lower growing moisture loving plants to fill in the composition, and its turned into a grandly showy specimen at least five feet high. All are excellent performers, easy to grow, and well suited to our area. On Nov 5, 2016, RobertWM from Clawson, MI wrote: This superb plant has become a favorite in just a short time. It prefers to grow in moist to wet soil, and will even tolerate some standing water.
