At the JC Raulston arboretum (old zone 7B) they keep the papyrus(Cyperus alternifolius) in regular garden soil and say they are much more hardy that way. Love the channel/commitment to zone bending!

@@TheDj4088 thank you. I love the plant but I do not recommend putting it in a small pond. The roots take over. This year I kept one big one in a flower pot in the pond and that worked much better than the one you see in the waterfall. Thank you for watching

Hello. There is a very hardy variety that was bred in Mèze in southern France. It should withstand temperatures down to -9 degrees. It's called "Bougainvillea violet de Meze". Greetings from Switzerland.

@@mirco4924 thank you! I am going to search for that variety. I hope it’s available here. That would be fantastic

you might trim it back more since they bloom on new wood

Thank you. I will do that
