CYPERUS papyrus 'Nanus'

It prefers bright and sunny positions and bears partial shade only where summer afternoons are hot; it adapts to any soil as long as it is well drained and permeable. It tolerates salty winds from coastal areas as well as prolonged periods of drought. It only resists to winter temperatures a few degrees below zero, therefore in regions with intense and prolonged cold we should choose a sheltered position, or rather, ensure it is sheltered in a cool and bright environment in winter. In spring, the only intervention necessary will consist in eliminating dry, damaged, old or bulky portions. Very often chosen to be grown in large containers on terraces and balconies, in the open ground it can be alone, or combined with succulents and cacti with the same cultivation needs, the undisputed protagonist with its refined streak of corners of our garden with an exotic flavor.
