We always called it papyrus, but get rid - it's a takeover artist and once established can be a real pain.

It grows huge given half a chance. I've cleared it out of several old neglected gardens, now I slaughter it on sight.
I think I hate this thing almost as much as I loathe yukkas.

Sadly the neighbours don't care and have every weed in the book, so it's an ongoing battle over my place. Privet, jasmine, wandering jew, ivy, convovulous, agapanthus, the papyrus thing, nightshade - both varities. Sigh.

Some may call it nut grass, but nutgrass is a far worse problem. It has small "nuts" on the roots under ground and it has rhizomes which run and form new plants. Sadly we just imported this into a new property, where we are landscaping, with a load of topsoil we bought in. Now we have to battle it. It is in all the gardens and lawns as well.
