Add vertical drama with this striking architectural native! Common Rush forms gorgeous clumps of dark green, cylindrical stems that create amazing texture and movement in the landscape. It's incredibly versatile - beautiful in modern landscapes, rain gardens, or naturalistic designs. The upright form provides perfect contrast to mounding plants, while the dark green color looks sophisticated year-round. Handles wet or dry conditions with equal ease. Virtually indestructible once established and deer resistant!
