I think I'll make sure to harvest some seeds this summer or at least keep a start or two in the garage over winter in case we get another freakishly cold night or two next winter. It actually did fine in cool weather and kept on growing and putting out new shoots until we had a very unusually cold snap in December, down to 10 degrees F overnight. I wrapped a drip hose around the base of it a few times so it would get watered often. Each stem was huge, at least 2 inches in diameter at the base. I had it in the ground all year in part sun, and by fall it was about 7 feet tall and growing faster than any plant I have. Unlike what some others have said, I have had good luck with this plant in the Vancouver WA/Portland OR area.

I was not aware, until deciding that I wanted to plant more of it in a similar area and looked on this site for some information on growing it, that it needs a lot of water and must grow in a wet location. It got to 19 degrees last winter and it died back, but came back quite well. Only water is from rain, which sometimes is plentiful and other times nonexistent. It has been growing well and I have never watered it, not even once.

I moved to a home with a lot of papyrus growing on the west side of the home in full afternoon sun and no sprinklers on it.

Then when it heats up, it's off and growing again. I have a cold room (in the high 30's to the 50's in the Winter) and it does very well. It's hardier than some say - as long as the roots don't freeze - though it only will survive really cold conditions outside for about 2 months. It grows fast, looks spectacular, and you can cut it way back and overwinter is pretty easily (if you live in a cold place like me that is). This is for the species and not any cultivars of it - the wild papyurus - that gets enormous (or the title is incorrect). The comments should be moved over as the plant are quite different (I've grown both).
