Rush (Juncus 'Blue Dart') is an evergreen plant that prefers full sun to partial shade and does well in most soil conditions. It is drought tolerant and can tolerate a wide range of climates. In warm climates, it can handle full sun all day; whereas, in cooler climates, it should get about 4-6 hours of sunlight each day. It will tolerate some shade in hotter climates. When placed in areas that get direct sunlight, be sure to provide ample water and protect from intense afternoon sun to avoid leaf burn.

Rush (Juncus 'Blue Dart') should be pruned once per year. The best time to prune it is in late winter or early spring, as this is when the plant is naturally dormant. Pruning should involve removing any dead or diseased foliage, as well as thinning out any overcrowded growth. It is important to prune lightly, removing only up to 1-third of the total stem length. It may also be beneficial to prune some of the lower foliage to encourage denser growth. Additionally, it is best to avoid pruning flowering stems, as this will reduce the amount of flowers for the season.
