Cyperus Prolifer Grass Plant

The Prolifer Cyperus Plant, commonly called Dwarf Egyptian Papyrus Grass, produces fine-textured, upward arching bracts with glossy green umbels that grow 2-3 inches in diameter. The flowers appear in noticeable brown spikes that look like exploding fireworks. This miniature version of Cyperus Papyrus makes a wonderful accent in small pools, ponds, containers, and in fresh or dried arrangements.
