‘Zebra Rush’ Bog Plant

Zebra Rush is a unique aquatic plant known for the white horizontal striping that contrasts beautifully against its rich green stems. This bold pattern creates strong visual interest and adds a modern, architectural element to water gardens, pond edges, and container water features.

Zebra Rush for Water Gardens and Pond Margins

This plant stands out due to its seasonal color variation. Tricker’s specialized growing techniques enhance the natural striping, making the white bands most prominent in spring and late fall. During these cooler periods, the contrast between the stripes and green stems is especially striking. In warmer months, the plant produces a combination of striped and solid green stems, providing a clean and consistent appearance throughout the year.

Zebra Rush works exceptionally well as a vertical accent plant. Its upright growth habit adds height and structure, helping balance lower-growing aquatic plants. It pairs beautifully with water lilies, lotus, and floating plants by adding contrast in both form and texture. Whether planted along pond shelves or used in container ponds, it creates a polished and intentional look.

This aquatic plant is also valued for its low-maintenance nature. It thrives in shallow water or consistently moist soil and performs best in full sun to partial shade. Once established, it is hardy and dependable, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced water gardeners.

Beyond its ornamental appeal, Zebra Rush contributes to a well-designed water garden by adding year-round structure. Even when flowering plants are not in bloom, its strong stems and distinctive markings maintain visual interest. This makes it an excellent choice for those looking to create a balanced, attractive pond design that looks good across multiple seasons.
