Turfgrass Information

Wood Rush, Luzula 'Ruby Stiletto'

Big Bluestem

Full Sun to Shade, Cool-season

This rush usually grows in woodlands and gets its name from the red color display in the fall. It originates from more northern conditions, so it will be interesting to see how it performs here in KS. Sorry, no picture available from the first year of the trial.

It stayed pretty small in its second year and isn’t particularly outstanding.
