    This rush is a perennial plant forming tufts of rough, rigid stems and leaves. It is gray-green in color.

The true stems are tipped with inflorescencesIt grows from a rhizome. This plant is variable in appearance. Its size and shape depend on environmental conditions in its salt marsh habitat. In areas with low soil salinity the plant can exceed two meters in height, whereas in high-salinity areas the rush is dwarfed, sometimes measuring under 30 centimeters (12 in.) tall.
