Kukuraho, Ririwaka, Marsh Club Rush, River Bullrush

Bolboschoenus fluviatilis, commonly known as Ririwaka, is a NZ native rush that thrives in wetland areas such as on the edges of coastal streams, swamps, and ponds. It produces green foliage which may die back during the winter months. It typically grows to 1 m tall and 50 cm wide but will eventually colonise an area much greater than this as its roots spread. Bolboschoenus fluviatilis is ideal for wetland revegetation projects and riparian areas. It is also useful for stabilising banks as it generally will not spread into water deeper than 25 cm.
