Plant Highlights

Common Rush forms large spiky blue-grey clumps 2' high and 3' wide. Drought tolerant when established, it grows in full or partial sun, in shallow water or moist soil. It is evergreen, adaptable to a variety of conditions and is an attractive container or accent plant in narrow borders. Juncus is a very useful plant for ornamental dry stream beds, swales and drainage basins.
