Corkscrew Rush 'Spiralis'
Juncus effusus

When I saw this oversize 14" coffe cup and the rush I knew it was a match made in heaven!

That is a very cute picture. Love the coffee cup! I've grown corkscrew rush before (both a green and also a varigated) and they did very well for me as long as I gave them lots of water.

Great picture.
I tried to grow it, along side the creek, but I am too shady. I gave it to a friend and it is doing well for her!

Might want to ck. something other than the shade that maybe the problem. This plant is in the shade and does well. Give it another go!

This oversized coffe cup is from Walmart, its about 14". They sold out quickly when I purchased it in early spring a year ago. I noticed last week they had more so I would run if you want one.

Thanks for the great comments. This plant is in the shade and I keep it really wet. In fact I added so much polymer pellets to keep it wet it looked like a volcano when the poly soaked up all the water, it was too funny.

I overwintered it in my greenhouse this year and it still looks great!
