Juncus decipiens 'Curly-wurly'
Rush is an ornamental grass species with a unique texture and shape. Its common name, 'curly-wurly', accurately describes its tight springy spirals of bright green stems. This fast-growing grass flourishes in moist soil, but it is also somewhat tolerant of dryer conditions. The graceful, arching stems of rush are a pleasing addition to a garden or landscape, adding texture and drama. It's an evergreen plant that will provide visual interest all year round. The stems can be rolled up for easy transportation, and smaller species are perfect for container gardening. This hardy, low-maintenance plant will bring an eye-catching look to any outdoor setting.

watering
Rush plants should be watered 1 to 2 times a week, depending on the season and your soil type. When watering, provide your rush with a deep, thorough water, soaking the entire root as much as possible. During the hotter months, it may be necessary to water a little more frequently, as the higher temperatures can result in the soil drying out faster. Consider adding a mulch layer to the area, as this helps to hold in moisture, reducing the amount of water you need to supply. Be sure not to over water, as this can cause root rot of the plants.
sunlight
Rush (Juncus decipiens 'Curly-wurly') is an aquatic perennial that prefers full sun to partial shade. It should be exposed to 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. It can tolerate full sun in the summer months but may need some relief from the intensity of the sun during the hottest parts of the day. In the winter months, the plant should receive at least 2-3 hours of direct sunlight.
pruning
Rush (Juncus decipiens 'Curly-wurly') should be pruned once a year, in early spring before new growth appears. Pruning should be done when the plant is dormant, and the pruning should be light and selective, with no more than a third of the stems cut back to the base. This will encourage new growth, provide for a fuller growth habit, and help control the spread of this species.
