Juncus tenuis – Path Rush

Path rush is a rush or sedge with tough stems that grows up to 2 feet tall. This rush occurs in the wild throughout North America in places such as parking lots, fields, thickets, woods, swamps, pastures and along roadsides/paths. Small, light flowers bloom from May to September on the tip of the grass. Path rush thrives best in full sun to partial shade with medium to wet water and tolerates erosion.

This plant can be used as a groundcover and to help control erosion.
