Juncus inflexus 'Blue Arrows'
ColorGrass® Blue Arrows rush
Stiff blue-green stems create a narrow vertical accent that contrasts with rounded leaves and trailing plants. This rush works well in mixed containers, rain gardens and damp pond-side plantings. It tolerates heat and can handle dry spells once established in the ground, though regular moisture keeps container plants looking their best.
