    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    This miniature version of papyrus, only grows up to 18 inches. Now you can get the egyptian look without the huge growth. The versatility of growing conditions makes this Madagascar native attractive for the busy gardener. Grow in a pot and keep well watered or grow as a bog plant - constantly keeping its feet wet. We simply keep the saucer filled with water and it grows extremely fast. Add this to any mixed container planting as long as the other plants are also fast growers. Keep in full sun for best results.
