Big Twister Corkscrew Rush is a grass-like wetland perennial with distinctive, more upright, non-jointed cylindrical stems that are loosely spiraled and spread in every direction. The flowers and seedpods are inconspicuous. Best in full sun and moist to wet well-drained soils. Though it looks coarse, the stems are soft to the touch. Has excellent deer resistance and tolerates up to 4" standing water.
