Juncus Pallidus

Description

Strong green needle-leaves erupt from a solid basal clump. One of the larges "rushes" you can grow. These are traditionally grown at the waterside, but this one does perfectly well in an ordinary garden here.

Sowing Advice

Sow at any time, in a well-lit position, into a good, soil-based compost. Cover seeds thinly and keep moist at around 15 degrees C or 60 degrees F. Some New Zealand species can be very slow indeed and may need cooler temperatures before they will come up. Grass seedlings should be potted on and grown on singly, or in clumps for more rapid establishment of a large specimen.
