Gray rush

This evergreen clumping perennial grows 1-2 feet tall and has steely gray-blue stems and tan flowers

Gray rush can be used in different garden situations from a dry garden in shade (once established) to 4″ deep in a pond.  Gray rush evokes the presence of water and looks beautiful in Japanese-style gardens.

Combine with western columbine, island alum root, seep monkeyflowers, and any low-growing species of ceanothus.

Adapted to our dry summers and wet winters.
