Love the smooth finish on the concrete planter/pond. - What is the technique used to give the smooth, rather than brushed concrete finish? »

What are these fabulous spidery plants and what zone? »

Terra Ferma Landscapes Hi Dignam,

The plant in the foreground is indeed Cyperus papyrus. It is an elegant, clump-forming reed that grows in water or moist soil and reaches 6’ - 8’ tall. There is also Cyperus 'Giant Egyptian' with larger hair-like umbrellas. Both are excellent for a bold architectural impact. Does well in pots.
