Round-fruit rush
Juncus compressus
Round-fruit rush is a moisture-loving perennial sedge-like plant ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and boggy areas. It tolerates partial shade and grows best in consistently wet or waterlogged soils, making it a practical choice for naturalizing wet spots in the garden. Once established it requires very little maintenance and provides valuable habitat and seed for birds.
