Uses

Wildlife

The species provides wildfowl and wader feeding and nesting habitats, and also habitats for small mammals.

A number of invertebrates feed on soft rush, including the rufous minor moth.

Humans

In Hui sup tea, Juncus effusus is listed as one of the seven ingredients.

In Japan, this rush is grown to be woven into the covering of tatami mats.

In Iran and Afghanistan too it is used to weave light cheap mat. It is called halfa (حلفا) and has medicinal uses too.

In Europe, this rush was once used to make rushlights (by soaking the pith in grease), a cheap alternative to candles.

Cultivation

The species is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for planting in water gardens, native plant and wildlife gardens, and for larger designed natural landscaping and habitat restoration projects.

The cultivar Juncus effusus 'Spiralis' (syn. Juncus spiralis), with the common names corkscrew rush or spiral rush, is a distinctive potted and water garden plant due to its very curled spiral like foliage.[1]
