Grow this unique, tropical plant from Cyperus Papyrus seeds! Also called the Umbrella Palm or Umbrella Grass Plant, this unusual perennial prefers to be kept wet.
Cyperus Alternifolius Umbrella Plant does best in a tropical environment, but it quickly adapts to the home. You cannot overwater this plant! It will thrive when its roots are kept continuously wet.
To ensure that the plant does not dry out, it is best to put the pot inside a second larger pot that has water in it or grow Umbrella Plant in an aquarium or swamp-type environment. Umbrella Grass Plant is well-suited as an ornamental water plant.
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
