Juncus Effusus (Spiralis) - Fun & fascinating, this new dwarf cultivar grows only to a maximum of 12" tall & forms a clump of the most corkscrewing & spiraling foliage of all the curly Juncuses. The shiny, green foliage is topped by insignificant flowers. Unique & interesting in a pot, it’s a true Rush & likes growing in wet soils or standing water at the edge of a water garden or creek, or under a drippy faucet!
Coming true form seed spiralis produces a multitude of stiff wiry corkscrew shaped stems in shades of mid to deep green. A moisture lover, this variety adds loads of interest and whimsey to bog and water gardens and is an ideal companion in containers and baskets.
