HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Common Rush plant seeds either in late fall or early spring. Press the seed into the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. For spring planting, mix the Juncus Effusus seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers soil that is constantly moist and saturated, even growing in standing water. It also adapts well to average soil with moderate moisture. Though slow to establish itself, it will eventually spread by rhizomes and self-seeding. This plant makes an excellent choice for erosion control or wetland restoration, and provides forage and cover for birds and other wildlife. It also performs well in water gardens.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to ripen and turn color. Strip the seed from the stem. Separate the seed from the plant material. Store Common Rush plant seeds in a cool, dry place.
