The cyperus umbrella plant is an eye-catching, easy-care water-loving plant that brings a lush, tropical feel to New Zealand gardens, patios, or indoor spaces. With its distinctive whorls of umbrella-shaped foliage atop tall, slender stems, this attractive sedge offers year-round interest and thrives in wet conditions where many other plants struggle. Whether you want to enhance your pond, create a green oasis indoors, or design a moisture-loving border, the cyperus umbrella plant is a versatile and rewarding choice.

Cyperus ustulatus, commonly known as the Giant Umbrella Sedge, is a large and robust NZ native grass. It grows as a clump and produces dark green leaves that have minute, sharp teeth along the margins. The foliage is complemented with green flowers in summer, which age to brown as it grows to 1.5 metres high and the same width. Cyperus ustulatus is commonly planted beside pools or streams, included in revegetation and riparian plantings, used in wetland gardens, or mass planted in areas where a hardy and aesthetic grass is required.
