Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows best in an average moist to wet soil, in full sun to partial shade, tolerating most soil types. Spreads by rhizomes and can easily establish itself in almost any growing condition. The size of this plant will vary with the amount of moisture it receives and it is more drought tolerant than most rushes. Foliage can be pruned down in early spring for a tidier appearance.
