Getting to know your Umbrella Plant

Umbrella Plant has a distinctive appearance, with tall, slender stems topped by a circular arrangement of narrow green leaves, giving it the shape of an umbrella. These radiating leaflets give the plant its common name. It forms dense clumps and grows rapidly under ideal conditions.

As a clump-forming sedge, it spreads by rhizomes, making it ideal for filling out garden beds or edges of ponds. It is not a true palm, but its upright habit and leaf formation give it a palm-like silhouette. It is considered evergreen in warm climates and may die back to the roots in colder zones, reemerging in spring.
