Looking for a natural way to add beauty and function to your freshwater marsh landscape? Look no further than Schoenoplectus acutus, also known as the hardstem bulrush. This giant species of sedge, native to North America, can grow up to 10 feet tall and provides essential habitat and food for wildlife. The plant’s common name, tule, derives from the Nahuatl word for bulrush and was first applied by early settlers in California who recognized its similarity to the plants found in the marshes around Mexico City.
