Juncus patens 'Elks Blue'

California Grey Rush

An evergreen grass that grows up to two feet high and spreads up to two feet wide.  It has blue gray stems that grow vertically.  This plant forms clumps and spreads by rhizomes. Golden brown flowers bloom from spring to fall.  Prune in the winter- you can cut all the way back.  This grass prefers more water than other grasses.  Additional water will help them look their best and prolong their growth.
