Cyperus Alternifolius Variegatus. Variegated Umbrella Plant.
The Cyperus Alternifolius Variegatus is a highly attractive clumping perennial plant with bold variegation which is more than happy to grow in boggy soils and shallow water. Leaves are all symmetrically arranged in a circle around the tops of the triangular green stems, striped with white bands. In Summer small greenish flowers appear at the centre of the circles followed by small fruits which turn from golden to dark brown. Great for bringing colour and texture to any garden and patio or perfect as a houseplant too.

Very undemanding, this beautiful plant should overwinter outside in the south of the UK but will probably need to be brought inside in the North.
