Juncus inflexus glaucus (Blue Rush)

Juncus inflexus 'Glaucus' (Blue Rush)

Juncus inflexus 'Glaucus', commonly known as Blue Rush, is a striking ornamental grass-like plant valued for its upright, blue-grey stems that add colour, texture, and architectural interest to the garden throughout the year. Its graceful, clump-forming habit makes it an excellent choice for both modern and natural landscapes.

This hardy, low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in consistently moist soil, although it will tolerate short periods of drought once established. Blue Rush is particularly well suited to planting around ponds, water features, rain gardens, and damp areas, but also grows well in garden beds and large containers with regular watering.

Its distinctive blue foliage contrasts beautifully with flowering perennials, ornamental grasses, and shrubs, making it a versatile addition to any landscape.
