Juncus Krausii

Description

This attractive dwarf rush with unusually soft stems and seed heads was originally collected from the South African mountains. In cultivation it makes a long-lived, evergreen trouble-free clump.

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.
