A UK first - a hardy Papyrus Grass that can stay outside all year long! 

The Mexican Papyrus is less well-known than its African cousin the standard Papyrus Grass, but looks similar. It is found in wet forests and swamps across Central and South America, from Mexico and the Caribbean through Venezuela, Brazil, and down to Argentina. It features the same sturdy, fleshy, mid-green stems, growing to a height of well over a metre. These are topped with distinctive ‘feather duster’ leaf heads, followed by seed clusters.

UK gardeners have mostly overlooked this species, because it has traditionally been considered a frost-tender plant, in the same way as the African one. The African Papyrus is valued for its dramatic tropical appearance and is commonly sold by British nurseries for the garden pond. However, its appeal is limited because it has to be brought indoors in cold weather. But the fact that the Mexican Papyrus grows in parts of Argentina that experience extremely cold winters always suggested to us that there must be strains of this species that can cope with freezing temperatures. Several years ago, a friend in one of these colder regions of Argentina collected local seeds of this plant and sent them to us. After finally germinating them, we have now grown the resulting plant for many seasons. We can confirm that it grows easily and survives our winter with no problems, provided that the crown is below the water line and does not freeze solid. In 2010 we recorded -12°C here at the nursery, and the plant survived this perfectly. 

We are the only growers in the UK or Europe (and as far as we know, the US) to cultivate this hardy strain of this plant. We have given it to two nurseries based in different parts of Europe, to allow gardeners on the continent and in Northern Ireland to buy it, and to reduce the chance that it will be lost to cultivation. You can also see it at Kew Gardens, since we have given it to them as well. 

It is an undemanding plant, which grows from a rhizome in a very similar way to the other pond Cyperus species, but simply larger. It looks best in a sunny, sheltered position, and does need a generously-sized pot due to its impressive size. A rare and unique statement plant.

Please note that, due to their strong, mature root systems, some specimens may tightly fill or slightly distort their 1-litre mail-order pots. If needed, the pot can easily be cut away with scissors when repotting.

If designing a planting scheme, we recommend approximately 1 Cyperus giganteus plant per four square feet of ground, or per two linear feet of pond edge. Read more here on how to pot and care for your plant.

No Chalky Aftertaste!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I've tried many different kinds of protein drinks, and almost all of them have either an unpleasant consistency or aftertaste. This Core Power Chocolate Protein Shake is by far the best I have ever tasted. If you place your cold drink in the freezer for about an hour and a half before drinking, it becomes slushy like a real milkshake. It is delicious and high in protein. I drink one just about every day for a quick and easy lunch.

Great source of protein.
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Great source of protein! It is not too sweet and the chocolate flavor is the best. There is not any nasty after taste, so they are easy to drink. My only complaint is how expensive they are.

Great Tasting and Already to GO!!
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
As someone who’s into fitness, I was looking for a tasty protein shake that I could grab on the go, and the Core Power High Protein Milk Shakes have become my favorite. This is the chocolate flavor, 14 fl oz bottles, and they come in a case of 12. Each bottle packs 26g of protein which is perfect for recovery after a workout or even as a meal supplement if I’m in a rush. What sets Core Power apart for me is the taste and texture – the chocolate flavor is rich and creamy, not chalky or overly sweet like some other RTD shakes. It’s like drinking a chocolate milk, honestly. I also like that it’s made with real milk (ultra-filtered lowfat milk), so it contains natural high-quality protein (both whey and casein) and it also has a good amount of calcium. It’s not just a thin water-based shake; it feels more satisfying and indulgent. Despite the creaminess, it’s actually low fat and doesn’t sit heavy in my stomach. I usually chill them in the fridge and it’s a nice cold treat post-gym. They’re lactose-free (the ultra-filtering removes lactose, I believe), which is great because I’m a bit lactose sensitive and I’ve had zero issues digesting these. Each bottle also has around 170 calories and they are pretty low in added sugar compared to some other brands – plus the 26g of protein per bottle is a solid dose. I find it keeps me full for a decent amount of time. The convenience is top-notch; I keep a couple in my gym bag (they’re shelf-stable until opened) and a bunch in the fridge. The 12 pack usually lasts me a couple of weeks if I’m doing one a day after workouts. It’s also a lifesaver for those mornings I don’t have time for breakfast – I can just drink one of these and know I’ve gotten protein and some nutrients in. All in all, Core Power Chocolate is delicious and effective. It feels like a treat but is fueling my body with what it needs. I’ve tried many protein shakes and this one is by far the best tasting and easiest on the stomach. Highly recommend for athletes, gym-goers, or anyone wanting a protein boost with great taste.

Good taste, convenient
Flavor Name: Chocolate, Size: 14 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’m not the biggest fan of protein shakes but find these to be quite good. My dietitian recommended them as a convenient option for snacks or days when I need something quick I can grab. These hit the spot on those busy meeting days and keep me energized and full til my next meal.
