How to grow Juncus caespiticius in NZ

Juncus caespiticius grows best in full sun or partial shade with consistently moist to wet soil. It is well suited to pond margins, swales, rain gardens, and other damp locations.

Once settled, it performs reliably with very little attention and tolerates periodic waterlogging.
