It stays green all summer long and, despite being a wet-loving plant, is surprisingly drought-tolerant. In fact, drought conditions can help keep this aggressive plant in check in smaller urban gardens. While it tends to outcompete and overtake smaller herbaceous plants in its path, it is generally self-regulated to areas with sufficient moisture. And though its vigorous nature can give it a bit of a bad rap, it redeems itself ten-fold by its extraordinary ecological function. Slough sedge stabilizes banks, controls erosion, maintains healthy hydrologic function in waterways, and provides sediment retention and nutrient uptake.

This below-the-surface growth goes unnoticed but after 5-10 years, the above-ground growth kicks in, and follows a moderate pace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credits 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11 (mature form, acorns, bark close up, urban trunk, ancient trunk in savanna, at Safeway): © Ed Alverson, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 2 (flowering): \u003cspan\u003e© Gail A Baker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits 3, 6, 7 (leaves, gull, with camas): Karli Del Biondo, Beatles and Bees\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 10 (Portland snowstorm): \u003cspan\u003e© Joseph Rojas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"11\" CowPot","offer_id":49020741550297,"sku":"D02","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/files\/Quercus.garryana-middleage_iNat-square.jpg?v=1718829590"},{"product_id":"western-hemlock","title":"Western Hemlock","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"formula-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input\" spellcheck=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-autocomplete=\"list\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"combobox\" class=\"cell-input\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTsuga heterophylla \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWestern hemlock is an attractive, large canopy tree with graceful, evergreen foliage and a distinctive, drooping leader tip.  In May and June, it prolifically grows papery, light brown male and female cones.

Its striking fall color is further accented by fruits that start out bright red or orange, turn blueish-black as the season progresses, and are a valuable source of food for migrating birds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edeciduous, perennial, large shrub\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6-10' tall, 5-8' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e full sun, part sun\/part shade\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMoisture requirements: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003edry to moist soil, well-drained\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eApril - July\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003emedium growth rate, easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWildlife support: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eflowers attract and provide nectar to adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; berries provide food to songbirds; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest eating insects, is a caterpillar host plant\/larval food source, and provides excellent cover and refugia habitat for birds and small mammals \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNative habitat\/range: \u003c\/b\u003elocally common in the \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eedges and openings of deciduous woods, along streams, and in \u003c\/span\u003echaparral, or shrub thickets mostly\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ewest of the Cascades from southwest Washington to central California, with a reported population in North Dakota.

Though it prefers moist areas, once established, it tolerates seasonal dryness quite nicely. It can spread on its own via seed and runners to create patches of groundcover that can outcompete other weeds - but are very easy to manage if that’s not the effect you desire. They transplant well, either around your garden or gifted to friends. Fringecup leaves can be susceptible to powdery mildew. Simply pinch off infected leaves and put them in your curbside compost, ensure ample air circulation around the plant, and take steps to improve overall plant health such as providing deep\/infrequent water in the driest locations. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 1 (flowers, closeup): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/50169152@N06\/17146310658\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima Grandiflora Fringecup, San Juan Islands\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/50169152@N06\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBLM Oregon \u0026amp; Washington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 2 (flower stalks): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/46821817@N08\/5622263072\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima grandiflora “Fringe Cups”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/46821817@N08\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFarOutFlora\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 3 (flower stalk): Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 4 (flowering habit, in the garden): Tracy Cozine, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 5 (garden edge): \"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\/13997652135\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTellima grandiflora\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\" by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/33037982@N04\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewallygrom\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is licensed under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/?ref=openverse\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhoto Credit 6 \u0026amp; 7 (in the wild): © John Brew, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/\"\u003esome rights reserved (CC-BY)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-f8af1dad-7fff-013a-8d2c-f66d5bff73ff\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":49020469084377,"sku":"C41","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/27.png?v=1720506903"},{"product_id":"piggy-back-plant","title":"Piggyback Plant","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"formula-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input\" spellcheck=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-autocomplete=\"list\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"combobox\" class=\"cell-input\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTolmiea menziesii\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePiggyback plant, also known as youth-on-age, is a lush herbaceous plant that lures pollinators into the woodland garden.

Conversely, the more shade it receives, the more drought tolerant it will be. Cascara is fire resistant, but can be sensitive to the poor air quality characteristic of urban environments.

By summer, flowers ripen into dusty-blue berries adored by backyard birds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eevergreen, perennial, large shrub \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e5-15' tall, 2-8' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003efull sun, part sun\/part shade, full shade\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003edry to moist soil, prefers well-drained\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMarch - June\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003emedium growth rate, easy to grow \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife support:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eflowers attract and provide nectar for hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; berries are eaten by many species of backyard birds such as robins, towhees and waxwings, as well as mammals; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest eating insects and is a larval host plant for native butterflies and moths including the brown elfin\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative habitat\/range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003ecommonly grows in open woods and shrublands, from sea level to 1500m, across the Pacific Northwest from British Columbia in the north throughout California to the south and east into Montana and Idaho.

By fall, the flowers become small, hairy fruits that also feed backyard birds. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type\/canopy layer: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003edeciduous, perennial, large shrub \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize at maturity: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10-20' tall, 8-12' wide\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e full sun to mostly shady (intolerant of deep shade)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture requirements: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003emoist to dry soil\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMay - August (June - August in the Portland Metro area)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate\/ease: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003efast growing, very easy to grow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife support: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eflowers attract and provide nectar source for hummingbirds, adult butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators; seeds are consumed by birds; overall plant attracts and supports beneficial and other pest-eating insects, is a caterpillar host plant and larval food source to native butterflies and moths including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003epale swallowtail, spring azure, Lorquin’s admiral, and brown elfin butterflies that all lay their eggs on it; it also \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides good cover for birds, small mammals and amphibians, such as the Pacific Treefrog \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative habitat\/range: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecommon in a variety of habitats from moist to dry open forests that are often dominated by Douglas Fir, to coastal bluffs and disturbed areas such as logged or burned areas and roadsides across \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewestern North America, but most commonly found in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial features \u0026amp; uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003edrought-tolerant; deer resistant; pollinator, insect and wildlife favorite; medicinal; indigenous people have referred to this shrub as “iron wood” due to the strength of its branch, which becomes stronger when put through fire and polished with horsetail.

It’s tolerant of variable light and soil conditions but does particularly well in acidic soils with high organic matter. It does best with at least half-day shade, and tolerates sun provided the soil is moist enough. It spreads slowly by rhizomes to form attractive patches, so be sure to give it space to expand. Grow it with associates (those that naturally grow together and depend on each other), including Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western red cedar, vine maple, deer fern, maidenhair fern, inside-out flower, wild ginger, and western trillium.

If put in the right place, Pacific bleeding heart will spread vigorously through rhizomes - and, occasionally, even produce a second bloom later in the season.

Bulbs can be fragile when they're actively growing in spring. So, either plant with care or keep it in its pot and wait until it dies back before planting. By early summer, the plant will die back completely and the bulb will be easy to transplant. If you go this route, leave the pot in a sheltered place and water sparingly, so that you don't rot the bulb. For fall orders, you can expect what looks like a pot of dirt. The bulb inside may appear slightly shriveled, which is its normal, dormant fall look.

If you choose to, adding supplemental summer water will prolong its bloom and attractive vegetation. Or, save the water and the plant will die-back for the season by mid-summer and return to impress again next year. It also performs beautifully in soils that are loose, rocky, shallow and\/or low-fertility because its deep roots fix nitrogen, increase soil fertility, and control erosion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 1: \"Lupinus polyphyllus._5951\" by Flominator is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits 2, 4: Hoddick Photography\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 3: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credits 5, 6: Tara Lemezis, Tiny Seed Photography\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"formula-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input\" spellcheck=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-autocomplete=\"list\" dir=\"ltr\" role=\"combobox\" class=\"cell-input\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePhoto Credit 7: \"Lupinus polyphyllus._5971\" by Flominator is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" id=\"formula-bar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" Pot","offer_id":49020596781273,"sku":"E14","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/36.png?v=1612249564"},{"product_id":"small-flowered-alumroot","title":"Small-flowered Alumroot","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHeuchera micrantha\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYou may already be familiar with the countless flashy, ornamental Heucheras.

Its mounding form and exceptional floral display make it a great border plant, container plant or addition to shady rock walls where its roots can stay cool. The flowering stalks tend to flop over, so we advise planting it away from highest-traffic paths. If you want a groundcover effect, buy and plant several (i.e. 5-7) 12-18\" apart.

This bunchgrass was once a common component of Willamette Valley oak savannas, but is now overtaken by invasive weeds and has diminished to almost nothing.

It is an excellent underplanting for drought adapted shrubs, especially on slopes where it can help stabilize the bank. In a water-conscious non-irrigated garden, it will follow its natural cycle, going completely cere, or dormant, in the summer. But, regular watering and good drainage can keep it luscious all summer long. It can spread by seed, volunteering itself in new locations making it perfect for the wilder, rather than manicured, areas of your garden.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credits 1-4: \"Festuca idahoensis\" by Matt Lavin is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePhoto Credit 5: Nikkie West, Sparrowhawk Native Plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sparrowhawk Native Plants","offers":[{"title":"3.5\" Pot","offer_id":49021017915609,"sku":"E27","price":3.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0234\/6031\/5216\/products\/RomersFescue.png?v=1612381105"},{"product_id":"common-rush","title":"Common Rush","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"formula-bar\" class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"t-formula-bar-input-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv spellcheck=\"false\" id=\"t-formula-bar-input\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cell-input\" role=\"combobox\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-autocomplete=\"list\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eJuncus effusus ssp. pacificus (syn Juncus effusus var. pacificus)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePacific rush, also known as common rush or soft rush, is a hardy, evergreen wetland or raingarden plant that grows in large attractive clumps.
