Cyperus Prolifer ‘Cleopatra’ - Dwarf Papyrus | Exotic Water Plant | Organically Grown
Discover the unique charm of Cyperus prolifer ‘Cleopatra’, also known as dwarf papyrus – a vigorous, grass-like tropical foliage plant admired for its elegant, star-shaped umbels that rise stiffly from the centre like a green constellation. This exotic umbrella plant brings lightness, movement, and architectural beauty into modern interiors, terraces, and water gardens.
At TOMs FLOWer CLUB, all plants originate from own propagation from a fully organic mother plant grown in the garden, ensuring strong genetics, vitality, and sustainable cultivation. The offered specimen is beautifully developed, robust, and never mass-produced. As always, the focus is on 100% organic quality before quantity.
This versatile tropical eye-catcher can be grown in containers, indoors, on balconies, or in the garden from May to November. Although it is considered a water plant, it is highly adaptable: it thrives with “wet feet” in water gardens or ponds, but also tolerates occasional drying in normal garden conditions. The crown of the plant should never be submerged.
