It is native to Europe, Asia and Africa, and introduced in Sri Lanka, Java, Victoria in Australia, New Zealand, Uruguay, and eastern North America.
Juncus inflexus is a rhizomatous tufted perennial usually growing 0.5 – 1m tall. The stiff, glaucous stems are thin and wiry, measuring 1 – 2.5 mm in diameter. They are lined with 15 – 20 distinct vertical ridges and filled with interrupted spongy pith. Stomata are arranged along the stem in 5 – 10 rows. The basal sheaths are a shiny reddish black. It blooms from late spring until midsummer, producing loose clusters of very small reddish-brown flowers at the top of some stems. These later ripen into brown short-beaked seed capsules.
