Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Graceful plumes downsized for modern gardens! Introducing the Graceful Grasses® Prince Tut™ Dwarf Egyptian Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus 'Prince Tut') is a small-sized water garden plant that thrives as either an annual in cooler climates and an aquatic perennial feature in warm growing zones. Lovely green tufted tops and sturdy stems rise above the water, or other plants they're planted amongst.
Forming multiple stems with wild, vivid-treen tufts of fine-textured stems that erupt into a shower of thin green stems that can bloom through the summer, adding to the unique texture! Much smaller than the standard Papyrus, Dwarf Prince Tut™ reaches a tidy 2-3 feet tall and wide.
Dwarf Papyrus loves moisture and water, so include it in water gardens anywhere on your porch, patio or garden bed. Hardy in USDA growing zones 10-11, these are often annuals in colder, Dwarf Papyrus are tall green accents and verdant backdrops!
Planting and Application:
Create a lush centerpiece by grouping Prince Tut™ in an urn or water garden, and create fringed greenery in ponds and pond edges. Use as a fantastic accent around a water feature or waterfall for fringed greenery! Create a meditation nook in your garden or a peaceful destination spot for reading with the bubbling of a water feature and the swishing of these airy plants in the breeze! Plant in that location that's always damp, or where the gutters drain for a Rain Garden!
For growing zones that are too cold for Papyrus to survive the winters, can bring them indoors to be grown as a houseplant for winter and brought back out in spring. Perfect for moist to average soil container gardening indoors or out!
