Eleocharis montevidensis

Eleocharis montevidensis (Aquatic) - Sand Spikerush
Hair grass or spike rush is related to Cyperus and bulrushes (tules) and also prefers to grow in shallow water environments in full sun. Its thin leaves look almost identical to those of the low bulrush, but grow longer and more erect, to nearly 2 feet. Instead of growing in a compact clump, it spreads quickly from rhizomatous runners and can rapidly colonize an area. Terminal brown flowers occur in early summer and is cold hardy to about 20 degrees F.
