Is Papyrus Plant an Annual

Papyrus can be grown as an annual in the Midwest. Papyrus can be grown as an annual foliage plant in the ground, in large containers, or in shallow water.

Does papyrus come back every year?

In most zones, papyrus is an annual or half-hardy perennial. This fast growing plant would be an excellent addition to a water garden or naturalized bog area.

How do you keep papyrus over winter?

Place the plant in bright sunlight. A south-facing window may provide sufficient light, but you may need to place the plant under a grow light. Papyrus is most likely to survive the winter if room temperatures are maintained between 60 and 65 F. (16-18 C.).
