Schoenoplectus fluviatilis, River Bulrush, is a rhizomatous species that forms very large colonies rather quickly. The thick stems of Scirpus fluviatilis stand 5-7’ tall and bloom in late July to mid August. Schoenoplectus fluviatilis provides excellent nesting habitat for water fowl and cover for spawning fish. It thrives in full sun to part shade.
