aka Corkscrew Rush or Crazy Hair

Something a little different! Juncus Spiralis has foliage that twists and turns. This curly variety adds a bit of whimsy to the garden. Great to grow in fun containers such as head shaped pots, great for kids to enjoy because of the plants’ playfulness and irresistibility to touch. Perennial
