Chondrilla juncea, commonly known as nakedweed or rush skeletonweed, is a vigorous perennial weed that grows readily in disturbed, dry, and sandy soils with full to partial sun. It requires minimal care and is well suited to harsh, low-fertility environments. Note that it is considered an invasive weed in many agricultural regions of North America and Australia.
