Baumea articulata, Jointed Twig Rush, Baumea articulata Jointed Twig Rush

Baumea articulata, commonly known as the Jointed Twig Rush, this is an attractive, NZ native grass grown for its aesthetics and ability to handle and colonise extremely wet soils. It forms a dense sward as it grows to 1.5 m tall, which provides a great habitat for frogs and water birds. New leaves emerge light green then age to dark green, and are complemented with brown flower heads through summer. Baumea articulata will happily grow in fresh, standing water (e.g., dams, swamps, creeks, and drainage areas) up to 1 m deep. This is a favoured plant among landscape designers constructing wetland areas.

Baumea articulata Details

Baumea articulata, commonly known as the Jointed Twig Rush, this is an attractive, NZ native grass grown for its aesthetics and ability to handle and colonise extremely wet soils. The roots of this grass spread such that it can easily colonise an area of one square metre in three years. It forms a dense sward as it grows to 1.5 m tall, which provides a great habitat for frogs and water birds. New leaves emerge light green then age to dark green, and are complemented with brown flower heads through summer. It grows best in full sun in almost any soil condition, except extreme dry, and will tolerate frost and cool climates. Baumea articulata will happily grow in fresh, standing water (e.g., dams, swamps, creeks, and drainage areas) up to 1 m deep. This is a favoured plant among landscape designers constructing wetland areas.
