Soft Stem Bulrush - 25 Plants $79.99 Description

Soft Stem Bulrush 

Soft Stem Bulrush: Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, also called great bulrush, is native to the United States and grows where water often accumulates. It prefers to build in up to 12 inches of rain.

This plant produces small flowers protruding from the stem at the top of the plant. It grows well, whether it is planted in pots or the ground, and can reach up to eight feet tall. This plant is ideal for those with a pond or water feature in their landscaping.

Every plant can have a spread of more than four feet. It produces a left blade that is less than 0.04 inches in diameter and can curve slightly on its outside edges. It also provides a small brownish fruit that is surrounded by reddish-brown scales.

Soft Stem Bulrush Schoenoplectus is an Ideal Candidate for Ponds and Water Feature Landscaping

The inflorescence of this plant usually droops or arch downward, making it look fabulous when the wind blows through it. The dark brown fruit often appears in late May and is present until September.

The stems on this plant have a spongy feeling. It is a sun-loving plant, although it will tolerate partial shade. Left alone, this plant will spread, creating new plants without the homeowner having to work. It is recommended that they not be planted closer than one foot apart.

It can also help control erosion as it has deep roots helping to hold the soil in place. Native Americans often ate the tender shoots in the spring while they collected taller plants to weave into bags or to create thin pads for sitting upon.

Wildlife love to hide their homes between these tall plants they use for food. Additionally, waterfowl often love to hide amongst this plant's stems.

Bulrush can be found natively all across North America and Eurasia. It is a water-loving, hardy wildflower that can grow anywhere between 2 and 9 feet in height, though taller is more common. This perennial plant thrives in ponds, wetlands, swamps, wet prairies, and other damp or moist environments.

It consists of a thick green culm, or hollow shaft, with a delicate cluster of flowers at the top. The flowers are an attractive orangish-brown color and eventually mature into a hard brown seed fruit.

A process that occurs between July and September and as early as May in some cases. It does not have noticeable leaf blades, though there are leaves that hug the shaft, especially near the bottom of the plant. The plants like to grow in clusters, with a 4-5 foot spread, and prefer silty or peaty soils, though it is reasonably tolerant of many soil types.
