A very attractive grasslike rush relative, that grows to 8 inches tall with bright green evergreen foliage. Plant in part shade to full sun, and directly in water at a depth of 2 in. or at the water's edge. Useful singularly, in mass or as a ground cover. In the summer, attractive dark brown small flowers appear at the end of each stem and contrast well with the foliage. Cut back yearly for fresh new growth.
