Description | Juncus earns the name 'spreading rush' by its ability to form dense clumps rhizomatously. The distinctive blue-green stems are evergreen and leafless, and flowers are minor, usually red-brown. Spreading rush is endemic to banks and shores along the west coast. It helps stabilize wet soils in swales and ditches. |
