Rush
These curious corkscrew rushes love wet or boggy conditions. They make fascinating architectural accents in planters, beds, and moist borders. They are technically leafless, but with green cylindrical stems, pointed at the tip. Plant them alongside streams and ponds, though they will tolerate dryer conditions elsewhere. They're excellent in container gardens.
