Description:
Dwarf Giant Papyrus is a striking, tropical marginal plant that brings a bold, architectural look to ponds, water gardens, and container features. Its thick, upright green stems are topped with tufts of fine, grassy foliage that resemble miniature green fireworks.
This compact variety stays smaller than traditional giant papyrus, making it ideal for smaller ponds, tubs, and wetland edges. It thrives in shallow water or wet soil and adds vertical interest, texture, and movement to aquatic landscapes.

Important Note on Plant Care:
As with all aquatic plants, we recommend quarantining before introducing into your tank. Live plants can carry harmless hitchhikers such as snails or eggs. For sterilization, use a 1:20 bleach dip and rinse thoroughly. We’re happy to guide you—just message us!
