Greater Poverty Rush (Juncus anthelatus)

Greater Poverty Rush is a 1' to 3' tall native perennial member of the rush family. This rush and a few others are separated into differing species in what botanists refer to as the marginatus complex by minor differences that are of no consequence to the gardener or conservationist. This plant grows in full sun and part shade and is essentially a wetland species, requiring moist to wet soils. It is usually found in bogs, swamp margins, shores of streams and ponds, in ditches, and in wet fields. Except for the Upper Northeast, the native distribution covers all of the eastern US. Ducks and other waterfowl utilize the tiny seed of this rush.
