Spreading Rush

Spreading Rush, also called California Gray Rush, offers both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits. Its stiff, upright stems are a vibrant blue-green, providing year-round interest and a strong vertical element in landscape designs. Typically growing up to 2 feet tall, it is ideal for mass plantings in contemporary or naturalistic settings, erosion control on slopes, or as an architectural feature in rain gardens. This rush thrives in full sun and adapts well to various soil conditions, though it prefers moist environments.

• Prefers moist, well-drained soils but is adaptable to both dry and wet conditions.
• Very low maintenance; check periodically for signs of stress in extremely dry conditions.
