Hardy and Versatile Ornamental Rushes

Juncus plants tolerate wet and dry conditions, making them perfect for pond edges, rain gardens, and borders. Their upright, grassy foliage adds architectural interest to gardens, blending well with native and exotic plants. Easy to grow, they suit both beginner and experienced gardeners.

Ideal for New Zealand’s Climate and Gardens

Well-adapted to New Zealand’s climate, Juncus thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer moist, well-drained soils. They are ideal for wet areas, container planting, and naturalistic garden designs. Their resilience and low maintenance requirements make them a popular choice for local gardens.

Plant Sizes and Growing Tips

Juncus species vary in size, generally growing between 30cm to 1.2m tall. Space plants about 40-60cm apart to allow for healthy growth and airflow. Regular watering during dry spells supports optimal growth, though many varieties tolerate occasional drought.
