Curiously curly, corkscrew-like, dark green, leafless stems and clusters of insignificant brown flowers in summer. This charming corkscrew rush is perfect for the margins of a pond or a border with permanently moist acid soil in sun or partial shade. A guaranteed talking-point, the tightly curled stems get fuller and more tangled with time. - Garden care: Plant out in reliably moist soil, or pot up into a pond basket and place at the margins of a pond. Remove dead foliage and old flowered stems in spring.
