Path Rush is a small, grass-like plant often found growing along trails and footpaths—just as its name suggests. In natural areas it commonly grows in compacted soils along hiking paths and open ground in prairies and woodlands.
Plants can grow up to about 12 inches tall but often stay shorter where there is regular foot traffic. The stems are rounded and pointed, a characteristic feature of rushes. The plant has a look similar to the popular Juncus container plants often planted with annuals.
Path Rush tolerates a wide range of conditions, including sun or shade and dry to moist soils. In gardens it works well along stepping stones, paths, and edges where soils may be compacted. It also grows well with low prairie flowers and sedges that can handle occasional disturbance such as Ivory Sedge and Pussytoes.
