Green Bulrush

The Beautiful Green Bulrush

In North America, Europe, and Asia, you can find green bulrush in wet areas such as marshes, shallow ponds, and ditches along streams or rivers.

What Are The Environments In Which Green Bulrush
Grows?

Green bulrush grows in wet areas with low-lying vegetation, such as marshes, swamps, and bogs.
It is also found growing along the edges of streams and lakes.

Is Green Bulrush Toxic


No. Green bulrush is not toxic to humans or animals, but it can irritate if touched by bare skin or inhaled through the nose. If this happens, wash your hands immediately with soap and water and rinse your eyes thoroughly with water if they start to itch or burn.

How to Grow Green Bulrush

Before planting, prepare the soil by tilling it and adding compost or fertilizer. Planting green bulrush is as simple as broadcasting seeds over a specific area and then covering them with mulch or straw. The seeds will germinate within two weeks if planted in warm weather, but they may take up to six months if planted in cold weather.

How Do You Care For Green Bulrush


Green bulrush is an easy ornamental grass to care for if you monitor its water level. If it gets too dry, it will die back. If it gets too wet, it will rot. It likes damp soil but should not be planted in standing water.

How Did Green Bulrush Get its Name?

The name bulrush comes from an old English word meaning tufted grass. This describes the appearance of the plant's long stems and round base.
