Rushes come in many different colors, thicknesses, and sizes, but since the Blue Arrows Rush is what I have growing in my edible landscape to
stabilize the edge of the duck pond, it is the one I chose for growing my own basket weaving fibers, using the
duck pond water to fertilize the plants and to help them grow very quickly.
Blue Arrows Rush is also very drought tolerant so you do not need a duck or fish pond to grow it, but it certainly helps to maximize the growth rate of the plant if it is given plenty of water and nutrition, which ducks and fish will provide. You can also grow it in tubs or planters that don't have drainage holes to give your Rush plants plenty of water without raising fish or grow them in a
wetland or
riparium on an aquarium.
