Native Wetland Plants

Eleocharis palustris

Creeping Spike Rush

Creeping Spike Rush is a perennial colonizer which forms a dense root mass along pond shores creeping out into 4-6" of water. Sometimes mistaken for a grass, the Creeping Spike Rush forms nice tight clusters of green individual culms just about 1' tall with a single scaly flower head on top of each one. A pioneering wetland species that handles water fluctuations quite well making it ideally suited for conservation projects, basins, and storm water run off projects.
