Cyperus zumula seed

LATIN NAME: CYPERUS ZUMULA

COMMON NAME: Cat Grass

The cat grass umbrellas the dense clumps of the soft, narrow, arching leaves with the slender stems and the small, radiating umbrellas of the grass-like foliage, the whole plant growing into the lush, fountain-like mound. The fresh, green leaves stay soft and tender, and they sprout fast from the crown. The plant grows well in the moist, rich soil, and it likes the bright light, with the shade in the hot noon. It makes the perfect windowsill and pet-garden plant.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

In the sedge family, the fast-growing forms have a recognised place in the studies of the indoor plants and the pet-friendly foliage, and the cat grass appears in the research on the leaf chemistry and the wet-root growth. The botanists note the umbrella-like heads, while the horticulturists value the easy, fast sprouting that keeps the fresh leaves coming. The seed biology fills out the picture, and the growers of the pet-friendly plants keep the species in their catalogues.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

On the bright windowsill, the cat grass sprouts fast and keeps the pets happy. The soft, tender leaves help the cats with the digestion and the hairballs, the fountain-like clumps give the room the fresh, living green, and the plant grows fast in the moist, rich soil with the shade from the hot noon. Easy, generous and quick to please.
