Nile Queen Cyperus (Umbrella Grass)

Cyperus papyrus 'Nile Queen'

Bring bold, architectural drama to your landscape or water feature with Cyperus papyrus ‘Nile Queen’. Growing up to 4 feet tall, this striking ornamental grass forms tall, triangular stems topped with airy, starburst umbels of fine, thread-like foliage. The delicate sprays create a soft, fountain-like effect that moves beautifully in the breeze while adding strong vertical interest.

‘Nile Queen’ adapts easily to growing in standing water or consistently moist soil, making it perfect for ponds, container water gardens, or boggy borders. Thriving in full sun to light shade, it delivers a lush, tropical look all season long in warm climates.

Order and Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
