Aptly named, this unique rush has glossy green, pencil-thin stems that spiral outward from the clump in all directions. A great deer resistant accent plant that collectors dare not do without. This low maintenance plant prefers to be sited in a bog or other very moist environment in partial shade. Evergreen in mild winter areas.
LIGHT: Partial sun
WATER: Keep soil moist, but not soggy.
SIZE: Quickly reaches 8 to 14 in. tall, 8 to 10 in. wide.
