I purchased this plant at a nursery, at a price I usually wouldn't spend for a patio plant. The tag on it didn't give a latin name, only "Unicorn Plant" , now that I've tried to find it on the internet, it certainly isn't a Unicorn Plant. I'd be interested to know more about it, it is really growing and becoming quite beautiful, I'd like to make sure it gets taken care of properly.
Looks like corkscrew rush, Juncus effusus. There's a cultivar called 'Unicorn', so I'm going to take a wild guess that's probably the one you have:

Thanks so much for finding it for me, this is great!
Now, I see it likes aquatic, which I don't have; will it survive with just a pot? and does it need sun, lots of watering....?
I had a different cultivar and I kept it in a pot, it does need regular watering but it doesn't need to be sitting in water in order to be happy. Mine was on a patio that got afternoon shade but I think it'll be happy in sun as well.
PAUL JAMES, had 3 of those in three identical pots, filled with water, sitting on a wall, on one of his shows this weekend. Lovely display.
