Path Rush (Juncus tenuis) 12-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
***12-pack MINIMUM ORDER***: If ordering 12-packs, you must order *at least six 12-packs*. You can mix and match 12-packs of different species.
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.
Path Rush is a little grass-like plant that often grows in paths, as the name suggests! You can often find this plant growing along trails in State Parks. It can grow as tall as 12 inches but stays shorter with frequent foot traffic and compacted soils. Rushes have rounded, pointy stems, and this one resembles many of the popular "Juncus" container plants that people plant with annuals. It can tolerate a wide range of soils, shade or sun, and moisture levels.
