Juncus acutus ssp. leopoldii (Southwestern Spiny Rush)
Coast, Foothill, Desert
Juncus acutus ssp. leopoldii, commonly known as Southwestern Spiny Rush, is a perennial rush native to wetland habitats in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This tough, clumping plant grows upright, forming dense mounds of sharp, needle-like leaves that can reach up to 3 feet tall. It thrives in saline or alkaline soils, making it ideal for wetland restoration and challenging environments. From late spring to summer, it produces small, brownish flower clusters that complement its spiky green foliage.
