Cultural information: "Spike Rush" is a true Rush. It oxygenates the water as it creeps along the bottom creating an underwater lawn... of sorts. 

Plant in all sizes of ponds by dropping weighted plants directly into the pool in full sun to partial shade. Thin plants every few years... or as needed.
