Hardy Bog Plants » Reeds and Rushes » Pickerel Rush

Pickeral Rush is a versatile bog plant, capable of growing well in water depths of anywhere between 2 and 12 inches. Its glossy green, heart-shaped lanceolate leaves are accompanied by several tall blue flower spikes all Summer long. Dense clumps of Pickeral Rush will grow anywhere from 18-30 inches high, and prefer 1-gallon pots or larger. It is somewhat slow to emerge in the Spring after weathering the Winter, but is highly prolific during the hot Summer months.
