It has fragrant, evergreen, grass-like foliage that resembles Iris or Cattails. The inflorescence is an inconspicuous, finger-like spadix from between the flattened, bright green leaves. This plant is tough and adaptable to most moist locations as long as they get at least a half day of sunlight. They spread readily from the fleshy rhizomes to form large colonies in wetland conditions, and can even grow in standing water. The aromatic rhizomes of Sweet Flag have long been used in traditional medicine, and the roots have been used as a spicy addition to salads when candied.Proper research should be done before using any plant as an edible or medicinal to avoid unsafe consumption.Sources:\u003cbr\u003eEastern\/Central Medicinal Plants and Herbs by Steven Foster and James A.

It is easy to please on infertile, dry, rocky soils in full sun. It tolerates a moderate amount of shade, but will spread faster and look fuller in more sun. It can be used as a native, delightfully wild-looking replacement for turf grass. Clumps of this grass will wander around by shallow rhizomes, sprouting new clumps nearby. It can be mown once a month during the growing season for a more maintained, slightly irregular lawn look, or it can be used as a framework for a \"pocket prairie\" when interplanted with low-growing wildflowers. Sideoats Grama does not compete well with larger prairie grasses, but it does have a strong root system which descends six feet beneath the soil to find moisture and nutrients.The seed heads of this grass have a delicate, pendulous quality. The flowers and the seeds they become hang from one-sided racemes, giving this species its common name.

They first appear green, then briefly red if grown in a sunny location, before turning straw-colored. The stalks grow up to 4' tall, sometimes slightly taller if in moist, sunny conditions. This grass is a cool-season bunchgrass which can tolerate growing under the filtered light and drier conditions of deciduous open woods. It isn't bothered by the juglone toxin produced by Black Walnuts, and while deer may nibble on it, it is rarely damaged by them. This is an attractive choice for erosion control, as it can form loose, open stands by self seeding. Many birds eat the seeds and the foliage is host to the Northern Pearly Eye.Sources:\u003cbr\u003eNative Ferns, Moss, \u0026amp; Grasses by William Cullina\u003cbr\u003eMissouri Botanical Garden\u003cbr\u003eLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center\u003cbr\u003eMaster Gardeners of Northern Virginia","brand":"Scioto Gardens Native Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47949237420273,"sku":"HysPat1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/7092\/9905\/files\/4206fe8d-023e-4be2-b46f-9f60d295183d_bc467fe5-c118-4349-804e-af0ac30cff9b.jpg?v=1776371546"},{"product_id":"juncus-effusus-1","title":"Juncus effusus (Soft Rush) - 1 gal","description":"Soft Rush adds an interesting vertical and spikey textural element to a pond-side garden.

It has a fibrous root system that leads it to stay tightly clumped in erect tufts, usually about 2' tall and as wide. The flowers have the look of silvery green plumes which mature into brown seed spikes. The plants may go dormant soon after they produce seed, making it a questionable choice for prominent areas of the garden.

It puts on a spectacular display of colors in the fall, turning shades of blazing orange, lavender and bronze. The seed heads are an attractive element that persist into the winter as fluffy tufts along the stems.Little Bluestem is remarkably drought tolerant due to its deep, fibrous root system, and it thrives in full sun and lean soils. It does not appreciate fertile soils or shade, which have a tendency to cause it to flop. This grass is used extensively in matrix plantings, pocket prairies and meadows, full-scale prairie restorations, for edging along pathways, xeriscaping, for erosion control, and as accent plants among other grasses and flowers. It performs well in sun baked landscapes and will self-seed in favorable conditions. Sparrows, Juncos, and other small songbirds use the seeds as a winter food source. Several species of Lepidoptera use this plant as a host for their caterpillars, including the Dusted Skipper, Cobweb Skipper, Crossline Skipper, and others. Prairie Walkingsticks occasionally feed on the foliage, as do grasshoppers, which in turn feed many insectivorous birds.

It can be planted along pathways as a distinctive border plant, underplanted with Barren Strawberry, used as an accent in rock gardens, or used in a matrix planting.
