Juncus 'Carman's Gray'

Description

Wiry, glaucous green, knitting needle leaves, with terminal tufted seed heads radiating from a dense clump, make this form of Juncus patens a perfect addition to any architectural garden.

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.
