Juncus effusus ssp. pacificus ‘Quartz Creek’ is a wetland rush with a clumping, rigid, and upright habit and features glossy lime-green to deep rich-green stems and inconspicuous pale-brown flower clusters. While a true rush it acts as a cool-season grass-like plant. Uses include rain gardens, bioswales, water features, mass groundcover, erosion control. Tolerates seacoast conditions. While evergreen in mild temperatures’ in a hard freeze the foliage may turn off-color and the plant will go dormant but the roots will remain alive. Heavy to moderate water use. It survives brief dry spells once established but needs regular water during warm months to look its best. It performs best in mud, boggy soils, heavy clay, silty clay, mucky soils or under shallow standing water; thrives in dense, fine-textured soils where water drains poorly. Best in full sun but tolerates partial shade. Deer-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to 0°F.
