Juncus effusus (Common Rush or Soft Rush) is a tough, clump-forming wetland perennial found throughout much of North America, including Texas. With soft, upright, grass-like stems and tiny greenish-brown flower clusters, it adds striking vertical texture to rain gardens, pond edges, and wetland plantings. It’s not just ornamental—birds use it for shelter, and its dense roots help stabilize soil and filter water. A classic choice for bog filters and habitat restoration.
