2008 Spring Flower Fair

Juncus effusus ‘Spiralis’ (Corkscrew Rush) – An evergreen twisted ‘grass’ that resembles a corkscrew or a pigs tail!
Peltandra virginica (Arrow Arum) – Native to wet sites and swamps in NJ. The arrow-shaped leaves are interesting for texture throughout the summer. Prefers full sun.

Typha angustifolia (Narrowleaf Cattail) – Growing to 4’ in height, this especially narrow leaf form of cattail adds a delicate texture to the pond or bog garden. Perfectly hardy in NJ.
Typha latifolia ‘Variegata’ (Variegated Cattail) – Similar to the above, but the foliage is slightly broader, and the leaf in edged in white. Very striking!
