Common Rush

The Common Rush is an exceptionally tough, tufted native perennial grass-like plant forming dense, neat clumps of fine, bright-green wire-like stems up to 60cm to 1 meter tall. It produces small, delicate golden-brown seed heads throughout summer. It is a specialized selection that thrives in wet hollows, boggy soils, and rain gardens receiving lots of water, providing excellent erosion control and frog habitat[cite: 27].
