Overview

Juncus pallidus, or Javelin Rush, is an evergreen perennial aquatic plant. Boasting rigid, cylindrical stems that reach heights of 4 to 6 feet, it flourishes in full sun to partial shade. This rush prefers consistently moist to wet conditions, thriving in up to 4 inches of standing water, making it perfect for water gardens and wetlands in USDA zones 7 through 9. Its architectural form adds vertical interest and texture to landscapes.
