Weeping blue rush (not to be confused with a radio talk show host after Liberals are elected) is our introduction. This seedling rush appeared in our bog garden...probably from the upright J. inflexus. The habit of each clump is a strongly weeping mound to nearly 3' in width. The steely blue foliage makes a stunning mound near an aquatic garden as a mass or as an individual specimen. J. 'Lovesick Blues' is equally as happy in a bog or in slightly moist soils.
