Bulrushes

Bulrushes are tall, grass-like plants found in wetlands, marshes, and along the edges of ponds and lakes. They have sturdy, rounded stems and feathery, plume-like flower heads that sway in the breeze. These plants play a vital role in ecosystems by providing habitat for wildlife, helping filter water, and preventing erosion. Bulrushes are also useful in water purification and wetland restoration projects. They thrive in shallow, waterlogged soils and are an important component of aquatic environments, supporting biodiversity and maintaining healthy wetland ecosystems.
