I grow it in large barrels and keep it well watered as it does not like to dry out. I found I have to overwinter the plants in my garage as this plant does not tolerate freezing. I started with one plant and have divided it 5 times (have to use an axe, its tough).
Each plant is about 7-8 feet tall |

As soon as the weather was regularly in the low 40's or upper 30's (we've had no frosts yet), the stalks began turning brown and falling over. I also have one small pot of dwarf papyrus and it's doing the same thing. Is this normal? I've never attempted to grow papyrus and would like to be able to keep it. Thanks for any advice! |
