About Juncus sarophorus L.A.S.Johnson

Juncus sarophorus, commonly known as broom rush or fan-flowered rush, is a flowering plant species that belongs to the family Juncaceae. It is native to southeastern Australia and to all of New Zealand, with the exception of the Kermadec Islands, and it has been introduced to Great Britain. It is a dense tussock-forming perennial that grows in wet areas, and it is considered somewhat weedy. Its stems can reach up to 2 meters (6 feet) in length, but they droop, so the overall height of the plant is closer to 1 meter (3 feet).
