Juncus patens 'Elk Blue' is a selection of California Gray Rush that has very narrow, rounded, blue-grey stems. This stiffly upright, evergreen grass-like plant adds a fine texture to the garden. Brown clusters of tiny inconspicuous flowers appear in summer. Elk Blue California Gray Rush is widely adaptable to a variety of habitats and soils. Plant alongside ponds, streams, or in containers where it will get regular water or in a dry shade garden where it is drought tolerant once established. Useful in bioswales or rain gardens planted in mass, border, or as an accent.
How tall and wide does Elk Blue California Gray Rush grow?
It grows about 2–3 feet tall and wide, forming upright, fountain-like clumps that add structure and contrast to the landscape.
When does Elk Blue California Gray Rush bloom?
It produces small, tan flower clusters along the stems in summer. The blooms are subtle and textural rather than showy, complementing its clean, modern look.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
Elk Blue thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts to a wide range of soils, from sandy to clay. It performs beautifully in garden beds, near ponds, or in rain gardens.
How much water does it need?
Water regularly to establish roots. Once mature, it’s drought-tolerant yet can also grow in moist or periodically wet soils — one of the most versatile California natives available.
