Dudley's rush

Overview

Dudley's rush (Juncus dudleyi) is an evergreen perennial plant found growing in low, wet, marshy environments throughout the eastern United States, Mexico, Bahamas, and Cuba. It grows in dense tufts up to 3 feet (1 meter) tall and has several delicate, grass-like leaves. The red-brown stems and branches have distinctive scale-like leaf sheaths. Dudley's rush blooms in late summer and early fall, with pea-shaped, green flowers that turn brown as they dry. It reproduces by wind-dispersed seed or stems that spread out and form new plants. Dudley's rush is an excellent choice to create naturalized areas with high wildlife value.
