Lime Tough Mat Rush is a tough clump-forming evergreen grass with lime green strap like foliage. Spikes of small fragrant yellow flowers on arching stems bloom in summer. Prefers loamy, evenly moist well-drained soils. True to its name, Lime Tough tolerates most soil condition, and is drought, heat, and salt tolerant.
