Default Curly Grass

I have a plant that looks like your picture, it is called corkscrew rush.
Rushes need a lot of water. I have mine in the margin of my pond. It does
o.k. in an unheated basement in the winter but there is some die back. Just
cut it back in the spring.
I live in zone 7.

It's the same color and blade thinkness, but mine is curlier...truly like
a corkscrew. It's probably the same thing, but the curls on mine are just
"tighter."

I purchased this small pot of curly grass...don't know what it's
really called but I think it originally came from Australia. It's
grows in all directions and is corkscrew curls. I really like it. But
now that Winter is here, and I've brought it inside, it's
dying. Does anyone know what this plant might be and if it can be
kept inside until Spring? Any info would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Stacey
