With Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ (Corkscrew rush) you bring a pond-edge plant into the garden that does not impress primarily through its flowers, but through its unique growth habit. The twisted, spiral-shaped stems create an exciting structure and set targeted accents at the garden pond – especially where you want a clear line or a modern contrast to softly growing bank plants. This makes ‘Spiralis’ suitable for both natural-looking ponds and clearly designed features where form and structure take centre stage.
With a height of approx. 40 to 60 cm, the corkscrew rush is ideal for the middle ground of the bank planting. It is tall enough to be visible, but remains so compact that the water surface is not completely obscured. It is particularly attractive in small groups or as a recurring element along the pond edge, where the twisted stems create a calm, graphic pattern.
The recommended planting depth of 0 to –15 cm makes the plant very flexible: plant it in moist bank soil or place it in very shallow water. For a clean, controllable pond design, a planting basket is often practical – especially as the position at the pond edge can be easily adjusted.
The 9 cm pot is ideal if you want to plant several specimens to achieve a uniform structural effect. Thanks to Zone 1–2, Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ is winter-hardy and suitable for perennial pond installations. An ideal choice if you want to create your garden pond not only “green”, but also deliberately designed with form and structure.
Note on shipping: We make every effort to ensure that our plants arrive healthy and undamaged. Despite the greatest care, it can happen that plants are slightly damaged during postal delivery or other unforeseen events. This includes brown leaves as well as bent stems. We accept no liability for this. Do not plant in open water such as lakes or biotopes.
Zoo-Roco tip:
Place the corkscrew rush where it can be reflected in the water – then the spiral shape is particularly effective. If you want a very neat edge, place it in a planting basket at a depth of 0 to –15 cm: this way, the shape stays in the right place and you can easily move the plant if required.
