Juncus Patens (Carmen's Gray) - Clumps of round, steely blue-gray leaves provide an upright, grassy effect. Fabulous accent plant for the sunny wet garden. Grows well at water’s edge or in a pond container. The insignificant brown flowers are not the strength of this distinctive plant — it’s the blue, blue foliage. This ornamental grass will grow 12" - 24" tall in moist-to-wet locations in full sun.
This ornamental grass (rush) only gets 24" across so it is a nicely behaved little rush, great for making a cute addition to the ornamental garden. Well worth growing for its unusual color. Likes average-wet soil & can grow in shallow standing water. Excellent & entertaining in a container too.
