Habitat of the herb: the herb: A very local pant in Britain, growing in the margins of ponds near the sea in Jersey and possibly Lancashire.
Other uses of American Bulrush: The leaves, mixed with oil, have been rubbed on a child's head to make the hair grow long and thick. The leaves have been used in making baskets and shopping bags. They have also been woven into hats.
Propagation of the herb: Seed - sow in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe in a pot standing in 3cm of water. Only just cover the seed with soil. The seed usually germinates fairly quickly. Prick out the plants when large enough to handle and plant out in their permanent positions in early summer. Division in spring. Very easy, larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found it best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in a lightly shaded position in a cold frame, planting them out once they are well established in the summer.
Cultivation of American Bulrush: A very local pant in Britain, growing in the margins of ponds near the sea in Jersey and possibly Lancashire.
Medicinal use of the herb: None known
Known hazards of Scirpus americanus: None known
