2. Does Cyperus like shade or sun?

Cyperus plants can tolerate a variety of light conditions, including full sun, partial shade, and even low light. However, they prefer to grow in bright, indirect light or full sun.

3. Is Cyperus papyrus invasive?

Cyperus papyrus is considered an invasive species in many parts of the world. It is native to Africa and the Middle East, but it has been introduced to many other parts of the world, including the United States, Australia, and Europe. Cyperus papyrus is a fast-growing plant, and can quickly form dense stands in wetlands and other aquatic habitats. This can crowd out native plants and reduce biodiversity.

4. Does Cyperus come back every year?

Whether or not Cyperus comes back every year depends on the species and the climate. In warm climates, many species of Cyperus are evergreen perennials, meaning they will keep their leaves all year round and will continue to grow each year. However, in colder climates, most Cyperus plants will die back during winter and will regrow in spring.
