Juncus inflexus Afro Amsonia When the new growth emerges

When the new growth emerges in late spring

helping to protect those nearby from the ravages of winter

but the flowers are usually only seen by ground level critters and passed out football fans

it never needs to be reigned in since it doesn't travel anywhere

although reports exist of 20' heights in perfect conditions

Juncus inflexus Afro Amsonia When the new growth emergesI first spotted this fascinating deer resistant Eurasian native bog plant in England decades ago at the garden of the introducer, Joe Sharmon. Unlike the smaller corkscrew rush, Juncus 'Afro' is virtually a corkscrew rush on steroids with dusty blue evergreen foliage! Each 2' wide clump resembles an upside down dish of 3 day old blue spaghetti after rigor mortis has set in. We have found this to grow equally as well in typical, even dry garden soil.
