Juncus gregiflorus
Juncus gregiflorus
Juncus gregiflorus, Green Rush or Group-flowered Rush, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial rush native to Australia, often found in wetlands, along creeks, and in damp grasslands. Growing up to 1 meter tall, it features upright, cylindrical green stems and distinctive clusters of small, brownish flowers grouped near the stem tips, blooming from spring to summer. These clustered flowers add a unique texture to wetland environments.
Thriving in waterlogged soils and tolerating full sun to partial shade, Green Rush is an excellent choice for riparian planting, wetland restoration, and erosion control. Its dense root system helps stabilize soil and improve water quality by filtering sediments. The plant also supports biodiversity by providing habitat and shelter for aquatic and semi-aquatic wildlife, including insects and birds.
With its structural beauty, ecological benefits, and adaptability, Juncus gregiflorus is a valuable species for sustainable landscaping, wetland rehabilitation, and biodiversity enhancement projects.
