Juncus patens ‘Elk Blue’, Elk Blue Spreading Rush
Out of stock
Elk Blue Spreading Rush features exceptionally blue foliage and a vigorous spreading habit, forming upright clumps of narrow, grey-blue stems. This selection is shorter than the typical grey rush, only reaching about 18 inches tall.
A widely adaptable species, it will thrive in moist soils, even shallow water, but once established it tolerates dry conditions, too. Grows in sun to moderate shade. An excellent accent plant with its stiff, vertical foliage, and a great solution for bioswales or rain gardens. Very effective planted in masses or as accent plants. Deer resistant.
Introduced by San Marcos Growers, this form of Juncus patens was selected from the hills southeast of the town of Elk in Mendocino County.
