Curly Wurly Corkscrew Rush
Juncus effusus 'Curly Wurly'
SKU
07181
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.

Provide average soil with consistent moisture; thrives in a moist, boggy environment, but tolerates drier conditions when established. For a tidy appearance, remove old, faded foliage before new foliage emerges. Clumps are often slow to establish, but once established will spread by creeping rhizomes. Adapts well to containers.
