Cyperus longus, or Sweet Galingale, is a tall, graceful aquatic plant known for its slender, reed-like stems topped with feathery, bronze-brown flower spikes. Thriving in wet conditions, it is ideal for pond margins, wet meadows, and boggy areas where it helps stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. This hardy perennial provides excellent habitat for wildlife and adds height and texture to aquatic gardens. With its subtle fragrance and ornamental appeal, Cyperus longus is a beautiful and functional addition to any wetland setting.
