Cyperus is not hardy enough to survive winters with freezing temperatures, and it is not a candidate to over-winter inside.
It is a very fast grower and will quickly grow to an impressive size when replanted in the spring. The plant can be planted in pots, along the water’s edge of a pond, or even in a pond. The crown of the plant should never be covered in water. King Tut is an evergreen or neutral grass.
