Baumea articulata, commonly known as the Jointed Twig Rush, this is an attractive, NZ native grass grown for its aesthetics and ability to handle and colonise extremely wet soils. It forms a dense sward as it grows to 1.5 m tall, which provides a great habitat for frogs and water birds. New leaves emerge light green then age to dark green, and are complemented with brown flower heads through summer. Baumea articulata will happily grow in fresh, standing water (e.g., dams, swamps, creeks, and drainage areas) up to 1 m deep. This is a favoured plant among landscape designers constructing wetland areas.
