Overview
Corkscrew Rush (Juncus effusus 'Spiralis') is an upright, clump-forming marginal aquatic evergreen perennial. It has bright lime green foliage that curls tightly around its stem in a spiral shape. Flowers are insignificant, and the foliage provides all the ornamental interest. It grows in moist to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Its cheerful, curling Spiralis foliage adds movement and texture to water gardens and naturalized areas in a drought-tolerant manner. Ideal for mass planting, edging, or as a cohesive theme border. A hardy plant that can thrive in any landscape.
