Soft Stem Bulrush (Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani)
Soft Stem Bulrush: Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani, or the soft stem bulrush, is a perennial, United States native, ornamental wetlands grass. You would most likely encounter it in nature near river beds, swamps, wetlands, ponds, marshes, ditches, bogs, streams, or in flood plains. It can grow in almost all slow-draining locations across most moderate to warm USDA plant hardiness zones.
Soft stem bulrush prefers to bask in full sunshine. It usually reaches a full mature height of about six feet, but it can get about nine feet occasionally.
Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani has a robust and healthy root system that helps to avoid water erosion across flood areas when rushing water recedes. The flowers develop during the summer--they are small, brown, and contain seeds that wildlife will enjoy for nutrition in the late summer and into early autumn.
You may also know Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani by a few other common names, including these:
- ● Clubrush
- ● Common Clubrush
- ● Lakeshore Bulrush
Soft Stem Bulrush Is Ideal for a Slow-Draining Property
Growing any plants in a slow-draining part of your property poses a challenge. Many ornamental plants dislike continuous moisture and develop mildew.
On the other hand, soft stem bulrush will flourish in standing water. Not only will it perform well in standing water, but it will also look elegant as it does it.
