It looks as healthy as it did last summer.
Unlike the large papyrus, this dwarf version wintered beautifully in my home in the same fishpot and in front of the same wi. Last spring I found the dwarf papyrus and it thrived wonderfully in my backyard over the summer too, but it looked perfect in my small pool and did not smother my other water plants. It did very poorly for some reason and died before spring. I wintered it in my home in a large fishpot kept filled with water and in front of a sunny window. It grew huge, tall, and covered the pool and another water plant. Then I was enthralled by the beauty of a papyrus at a nursery. Being an ignorant beginner, I wasted money on water lilies that did poorly in the shade. I wanted a small water garden in my shady back yard, so I purchased a 20 gallon resin pool.

Propagate by flower head: get one flower stem, remove the stem, dip the pom-pom like flower head into water, the root will grow in 2 weeks!
It is easy to propagate this plant by seeds, division or by flower head!
