I bought this at Lowes in Fort Myers Florida. Being new to southern living, I would like to know how to take care of this plant and enjoy it all season.

I agree with @Linda Hopper. I have that papyrus plant growing on the sides of my Koi pond. Mine is a dwarf plant. @Douglas Hunt it does grow here in Central Florida.

I think some sort of papyrus. Some can be grown in ponds.

All the papyrus I've seen only fluffs out at the top of the stem, and I thought this looked like it had some mid-way, but maybe it's just the photo. If it is papyrus, it needs to be wet. (Like Sherry's being along the sides of her koi pond.)
