its a type of papyrus, you know the group of plants used by the ancient egyptians.
You propagate it by cuttung the stem and turning the parasol leafy bit unside down into a bottle. it grows roots and off you go again.

yes, I agree,is a papyrus,but have only ever seen this type grown as houseplant.Lynndylou

i used to have it in the ppond in the summer then bring it in over winter. i forgot one year and thats that.

my sisinlaw said it was an indoor plant.thought she had drank too much bacardi. Will look up Papyrus see if I can find it. Its fab the noise it made was so soothing. If I grow it in a large pot then I can put it in the greehouse in winter is that ok to do?

yes that is what i used to do with it.

Known as Egyptian Marsh Grass in this house it is NOT hardy so if greenhouse is unheated it's bye-bye to your plant. I use aquatic compost in a large container which must be kept WET at all times (pot with no drainage holes). Will be very heavy to move so best, IMHO, kept indoors. In natural circumstances it grows along the river bank with its roots firmly down in the the muddy edges.
Hope this helps.
