Creeping Spike Rush -Eleocharis palustris-- Seed Packet- True Native Seed

Creeping Spike Rush is a 1’ to 3’ tall native perennial that is a member of the sedge family and not the Rush family as the common name might imply. This plant can grow in seasonally moist soils, but is most often found growing in full sun sites that are permanently or seasonally flooded. Creeping Spike Rush, as the name suggests, spreads rapidly by rhizomes and can develop a thick root mass in a single season. Creeping Spike Rush is an important plant, used in erosion control, wildlife habitat, wetland restoration, and in native plant wastewater management projects.
