 | Juncus inflexus ‘Lovesick Blues’ |
| Common name : Weeping Blue Rush |
| |
| A beautiful foliage accent plant, perfect for growing beside a water feature or in a container set right into the water. This forms an arching mound of cylindrical stems that are steel-blue in colour, cascading or weeping in all directions. Plants prefers a wet site but adapt well to moist border conditions. Small tan flowers appear on the stem tips during the summer. The foliage is good for cutting as an accent in flower arrangements. Trim out any dead leaves in spring or even trim back the entire clump to 2 inches. Easily divided in spring just as new growth begins.
