Gardeners around the country are discovering the unique appeal and beauty of the three Tut varieties of Graceful Grasses®. Each of these Cyperus are easy to grow and offers a truly exotic look for gardens and containers. In fact, they’re the new “hot thing,” based on recent sales.
We asked Dan Foster, Site Manager/Product Line Manager, to explain the differences between these amazing plants.
King Tut® — Large and in charge
“King Tuts range in size from 48 to 72 inches and are upright, dramatic plants,” Foster says. “They have a vigor rating of 4 and grow well with other very vigorous plants like Supertunia® Bubblegum® and Ipomoea.”
Foster points out some features of the King Tut:
- They make an extremely striking display. “I see them used a lot in large containers or in landscapes,” he says.
- Ideal for very large containers typically measuring 26 to 36 inches
- Can use a Bonzai® (paclobutrazol) drench to harden branches and leaves (which can break or topple). “Grow it outside after the danger of frost is past, to acclimate King Tut to the wind,” Foster recommends.
