I'd like to make some candles with rush wicks... how do I get ahold of the right kind of rush plant? Does someone know where I might harvest some in northern VA?

LJ braintrust, what do you know about the local plants?

You can pick rushes anywhere swampy. I would look up the genus of the sort of rush you want-they are not all the same. Then find out what is indigenous to your area.

Or try to buy some for floral projects online.
