Resembling grasses, Juncus (Rush) are annuals, deciduous or evergreen perennials, forming clumps of strongly upright or tightly curled, cylindrical stems. Often a mainstay for growing at the edge of a pond with aquatic plants and grasses, Rushes can be an attractive vertical element in the garden or in a container arrangement. They need extremely minimal maintenance, are relatively pest and disease free and usually look best in consistently moist soils.
