About this plant

Rush ‘Curly Wurly’ is a whimsical perennial that grows best in full to partial sun and consistently moist soil. Glossy green, pencil-thin stems spiral and twist outward from the clump in corkscrew fashion, creating a playful and unique appearance. This compact rush works wonderfully in containers, water gardens, or along pond margins where its amusing habit can be appreciated up close. Its tolerance for wet conditions makes it a reliable choice for rain gardens and boggy areas in Yarmouth landscapes.
