Soft Rush Grass Care
This perennial prefers wet and boggy areas with plenty of sun. It's easy to grow and can be divided to control spreading. Can be invasive in some areas of the United States if not controlled. May be cut down to water level in spring or cut back to a few inches above soil level in boggy areas.
Soft Rush Grass Spacing
Soft rush should be planted with a spacing of 1 to 2 feet between plants. Does well in wetland, boggy and moist areas. Good for a water garden or pond setting and would look wonderful planted in groups, as an accent plant, or grown in a pot or container provided it is given enough moisture.
