Big Twister Rush
Juncus effusus 'Big Twister'Grass ‘Big Twister’ is an eye-catching ornamental variety known for its swirling, curling foliage that creates a sense of motion even in still air. Its long, ribbon-like leaves twist and cascade in every direction, lending a playful, sculptural quality to gardens. This distinctive habit makes it a standout in mixed beds, along pathways, or as a container centerpiece where its dramatic texture can be fully appreciated.
Big Twister maintains a lush green color throughout the growing season, offering lively contrast to upright grasses, broad-leaved perennials, and bold architectural plants. Its adaptability and low-maintenance nature allow it to thrive in a variety of settings, from sunny borders to partially shaded nooks. Whether used as a single specimen or in repeating patterns, this grass adds charm, movement, and artistic flair to the landscape.
