Description

This selection of a vibrant green reed is widely used in landscapes due to its carefree nature and rigid upright structure. This Juncus initially grows very rapidily and then slows to eventually clump to 36" wide. It will reach a height of approximately 24-36". Reguires fairly regular water in the warmer months to perform well.

Water Saving Tip:

Make sure ponds and water features aren't leaking, splash out is minimized, and water for streams and waterfalls is recirculated.

Keeping water surface areas small and partially shaded will also reduce evaporation.
