Juncus effucus (Soft Rush)

from $70.00

Juncus effucus, also known as Soft Rush, is easily grown in moist to wet soils in full sun to part shade, but best in full sun. Performs well in standing water to 4” deep, but will also grow well in garden soils as long as the soils are in fact kept consistently moist.

Plants will spread in the landscape by rhizomes and by self-seeding. Rhizomatous spread may be controlled, if desired, by growing this plant in large containers sunk in the ground. Foliage remains evergreen in warm winter climates or when grown indoors as a houseplant. Old foliage should be cut back in early spring. Propagate by seed or division.
