    probably some kind of 'ornamental' or wild grass that's blown in on the wind (sedges have solid stems, grasses have hollow stems. Apparently

      Not that it helps at all but my baby bamboo looks like that. Mind you so does my Welsh Onions

          Thank you - that would certainly explain why it smells and tastes of nothing! I really like it and have since placed a mulch of stones around the soil which makes it look more decorative. Looks like I will need to keep it well watered - shouldn't be a problem about 99% of the time with the amount of rain we get

            Now it has flowered this year, I found that it was indeed Soft Rush as identified by Seasprout.



            We love it. Looks nice and ornamental in the container and it is an almost no work plant really. I just trimmed the brown stems off with scissors earlier in the year. Love these happy accidents

              Don't let it set seed as its invasive and a pain to dig out.
