Juncus kraussii, or Salt Marsh Rush, is a robust, tufted wetland plant well-adapted to both freshwater and coastal environments. With its upright, dark green, reed-like foliage, it provides excellent habitat for wildlife and is often used for erosion control in wetland restoration projects. This hardy rush thrives in a variety of conditions, including brackish water and saline soils, making it ideal for pond margins, marshes, and rain gardens. Its dense, fibrous root system helps stabilize soil while adding a natural, structured look to aquatic landscapes.
