Mountain Rush
Juncus arcticus ssp. littoralis
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Juncaceae
Plant Description: This native wetland perennial is grass-like with wiry leaves growing in clumps. It is not considered waterwise as it grows naturally in wetland or boggy areas. At Conservation Garden Park, it grows naturally in wetland areas near the stream and in bioswales that are consistently wet due to drainage.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
