Description
Upright, rounded green stems form arching fans, giving Juncus effusus a clean vertical presence in wet gardens. Small green-brown flower clusters appear along the upper stems from late spring through summer, while the clump suits pond margins, rain gardens, and moist banks.
Grow it in permanently moist acid to neutral clay or loam in full sun or partial shade. It can also stand in shallow water. Divide from mid-spring to early summer, and remove dead foliage and old flowered stems in spring.
