Live Umbrella Palm Tropical Aquatic Marginal Pond Plant – Cyperus alternifolius

Enhance your pond or water garden with a live Umbrella Palm (Cyperus alternifolius), a tropical aquatic plant known for its distinctive umbrella-shaped foliage and upright growth habit.

Umbrella Palm grows best in consistently moist soil or shallow water and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is well suited for planting along pond edges, in bog gardens, or in decorative containers where its lush green foliage creates a tropical appearance.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
