Shop Cape Rush Plants Online Large Cape Rush Bringing bold structure and year-round appeal to warm-climate landscapes, this evergreen is native to South Africa and forms dense clumps of upright, reed-like deep green stems. At maturity, it reaches 6–8 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, offering impressive height and visual interest. We recommend it for spaces receiving full sun to partial shade, as it needs low watering and becomes drought-tolerant once established. Small, brown flower clusters appear from spring to summer. Hardy in USDA Zones 8, 9, and 10, it also tolerates coastal conditions and suits modern, Mediterranean, and coastal landscape designs. Small Cape Rush For a more compact planting option, our Small Cape Rush features fine, arching green stems that create a neat, upright clump. Growing 3–4 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, this evergreen perennial works beautifully in borders, mass plantings, and containers. It performs well in full sun to partial shade with low to moderate watering, making it easy to maintain in suitable conditions. Although it does not flower, its ornamental rush foliage delivers consistent texture throughout the year. Hardy in USDA Zones 8–11, this adaptable selection complements modern landscapes, coastal gardens, and low-maintenance designs. Why Choose Cape Rush from Plant Clearance? G
