How to Grow and Care for Soft Rush Grass
Soft rush grass (Juncus effusus) is a perennial plant native to Europe. It is a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant grown in many different environments. It can grow as a groundcover in the sun or shade and tolerate some shade. The plant is slow-growing but spreads quickly, and it is undemanding; it will grow in poor-quality soil and little water. Soft rush grass bears pink flowers pollinated by insects, and the leaves are used for medicinal purposes.
Soft rush grass is a perennial flowering plant. It grows from rhizomes and produces long, delicate flower spikes with nodding flowers. The leaves are long, narrow, and softly toothed and are used for medicinal purposes. The plant reaches about 18-25 inches high and can grow up to 3 feet wide.

How to grow soft rush grass
It's also essential that the area is well-drained and has consistent water. To grow soft rush grass, you need to ensure that the soil is moist enough for the plant. The best method of watering is using a soaker hose or drip system. If this isn't an alternative for you, you can use a watering can or pour water around the plant's base as needed.
You will also need to fertilize your soft rush grass regularly. Fertilizing regularly keeps the plant healthy and strong while increasing its vigor. Organic fertilizer such as liquid fish emulsion should be used at least twice per week during summer months and three times per week during winter.
To trim your soft rush grass, you should cut back any dead or rotting stems with shears or clippers. You're able to do this if there are not too many leaves on your plants.
How to care for your soft rush grass
-Water your plant every two to three days.
-Don't fertilize it.
-Plant it in the sun or near an area that gets a lot of sunlight.
-Rotate your plant so that you don't put it in the same place twice each season.
