For evergreen grasses this wounding will really affect their ability to live through the winter. Although Papyrus normally gets pretty huge, King Tut is a smaller variety that still makes a bold statement if you want it to. But rather than let the King die in winter, I was so smitten. Papyrus doesn’t tolerate temperatures down to freezing, so this far north King Tut is billed as an annual. I’ll cut to the chase: This particular King Tut is a variety of papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) that I planted a year ago in spring. Dividing plants wounds them to some degree. King Tut is alive and well, very well in fact. In areas where winter temperatures remain above 35 degrees it can be considered a perennial and the following information should be useful.Įvergreen or neutral grasses are usually plants that look like grasses but aren't actually classified as grasses, they are generally called grass-like plants.ĭivide evergreen or neutral grasses and grass-like plants in spring only.Įvergreen grasses don't ever go dormant. It should not be expected to live through the winter and begin growing again in the spring. Once the grass turns brown it can either be removed immediately or removed in the spring. Where temperatures get colder than 35 degrees F, the plants should be treated as annuals. It grows fast, looks spectacular, and you can cut it way back and overwinter is pretty easily (if you live in a cold place like me that is). Prince Tut is an evergreen or neutral grass.
It is best to keep the soil moist, but once established Price Tut has can be surprisingly tolerant of dry conditions. Prince Tut will also do well when planted in normal garden beds. If the plant is put into a pot, I would suggest plugging the hole or holes in the bottom of the pot to keep as much water as possible in the pot. The root ball can be submerged but it isn't necessary. tall with flowers consisting of 'beads' on long stems. The purpose is to keep the bulk of the soil or root mass wet. My garden encyclopedia describes it as 'tall, graceful dark green stems 6-10 feet high. The crown of the plant should never be covered in water and in fact both of these varieties can thrive in water as shallow as a few inches.

It is a very fast grower and will quickly grow to impressive size when replanted in the spring. Cyperus Papyrus is not hardy enough to survive winters with freezing temperatures and it is not a candidate to overwinter inside.
