Green Bulrush (Scirpus atrovirens)
Green Bulrush is a 3' to 5' tall native perennial wetland species. This plant is a member of the sedge family, and not a rush as is indicated by the common name. This plant requires wet to moist sites in a variety of soil types and prefers full sun, but will tolerate some light shade. It is a long lasting attractive plant in wet areas in landscaping and in wet gardens. It is typically found in wet grasslands, ditches, marshes, swamps, edges of ponds, and other wet areas. Ducks, geese, and other water birds feed on the plant and it provides nesting cover for several birds. Prices listed are based on pure live seed weight, not bulk weight.
