Cyperus Longus (Marginal Aquatic)

A handsome perennial for moist or waterlogged soil and pond margins. Cyperus longus can be grown in water up to 25cm (10″) deep, so makes a useful marginal aquatic for deep ponds and lakes.

The dense, thick growth of Cyperus makes it a useful habitat for encouraging wildlife to the garden. Galingale plants are exotic-looking, with umbrella-like stems and foliage, and reddish-bronze spikelets during the height of summer. Height: 120cm (48″). Spread: 100cm (40″).Planting depth: Zones 1, 2 & 3 to 25cm (10″) below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
