Juncus effusus, commonly known as Smooth Rush, is a native British perennial found in waterways and wetland areas. This hardy plant forms dense clumps of upright, virtually leafless stems that spread through creeping rhizomes. Throughout summer, the stems are adorned with delicate sprays of purple-brown flowers, adding subtle charm to pond margins and damp garden areas. Perfect for naturalising, Juncus effusus thrives in wet, boggy soil and can be planted in the shallow margins of ponds, providing excellent habitat and cover for wildlife. Its architectural form and hardiness make it a valuable addition to any water garden or damp landscape, where it will steadily establish itself with minimal care.
