Cape rush

This rush like plant from South Africa creates a striking accent. This species is a diminutive form with 3 foot upright stems producing papery bracts at each joint. It will grow in sun or partial shade, and can be either grown in shallow water or in soil with regular to low water. Doesn't like rich soils. You may cut old stems to the ground when new growth appears.
