Description

This selection of Juncus is widely used in landscapes due to its carefree nature, rigid upright structure and bright green color. This Juncus initially grows very rapidily and then slows to eventually to 36" wide and then clumps. It will reach a height of 24"-36". It reguires fairly regular water in the warmer months to perform well.
