Where most ornamental grasses sulk, this rush thrives — rain gardens, pond margins, the soggy end of a bed, a streamside planting, or a glazed container with no drainage hole. The tight vertical habit suits modern, pared-back planting, and a group of three or five says far more than one. Sun or partial shade both work, provided the root zone never dries out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFun fact:\u003c\/em\u003e peel a soft rush stem and you find a continuous white pith.
