Bog Plant Spike Rush

The Spike Rush grows best in consistently wet soil or in shallow water.

There are many species of spike rush and they are difficult to identify without using detailed botanical keys. In general, spike rushes are small (although some reach heights of 4 feet) perennial plants are often confused with the smaller species of rushes, grasses, or sedges. Slender spike rush can grow completely underwater and appear as a submerged plant.

Spike rushes can grow in shallow water or moist soils and grow from rhizomes. Stems are unbranched with sheaths around the base but can be round, square, or flattened depending on the species. All spike rushes have small fruiting spikes at the tips of the stem
