Big, beautiful, thick, round, and smooth describes the fun foliage of Giant Corkscrew Rush. It is taller and more upright than other curly rushes. This spiral rush likes wet or moist soil and can be submerged in up to 4” of water. It will spread slowly by stolons; however, if spreading is a concern, keep it in check by submerging in pots. It’s a great accent for water gardens and can provide plenty of texture and interest to hard-to-landscape wet areas in managed landscapes. It’s a stunner in decorative containers. ‘Big Twister’ is a cultivar of native Juncus effusus, which produces twisty-foliaged cultivars from time to time.
