Growth Habit of Papyrus Plants

Question

How much room is needed for a papyrus and can the roots break down block walls or swimming pool walls?

Answer 1

These plants typically do not have very invasive root systems and are normally considered annuals in most areas anyway. I would, however, give them at least a couple feet of spacing away from walls or other structures.
