Juncus filiformis
Thread rush
Juncus can be annuals, deciduous or evergreen perennials. They are clump-forming, often having cylindrical leaves, and bearing clusters of small brown flowers in Summer. Juncus filiformis - 'Thread Rush' - is an evergreen perennial that forms a clump of corkscrew-like, spirally curling, leafless stems, sometimes bearing small clusters of brown flowers in Summer, that are followed by a seed capsule containing 3+ seeds. Can be grown as a 'marginal' (at the edge of a pool or pond)
