Juncus maritimus, commonly known as Sea Rush, is a hardy, evergreen perennial grass-like plant that thrives in coastal habitats, salt marshes, and wetland areas. This resilient rush features dense, upright, dark green stems that create a strong architectural presence, adding texture and movement to the landscape. In summer, it produces clusters of small, brownish flowers near the tips of its stems, providing subtle seasonal interest.
Well-adapted to saline and waterlogged soils, Juncus maritimus is ideal for stabilizing coastal dunes, pond margins, and wet meadows. Its tough, fibrous root system helps prevent erosion, making it a valuable choice for ecological restoration projects. Low-maintenance and highly tolerant of wind, salt spray, and fluctuating water levels, Sea Rush is an excellent addition to naturalistic plantings, wildlife-friendly gardens, and waterside landscapes.
