Blunt Sedge
Carex obtusata
Overview
Blunt Sedge (Carex obtusata) is a species of flowering plant that grows in moist areas and is native to parts of Europe. This dioecious sedge has short stems with yellow-green, grass-like leaves. Its flowers are brown and its fruits develop in flat and spike-like clusters. Blunt Sedge is often found along pond edges and in bogs, where it grows in large clumps. It can also spread quickly and may require control measures to prevent it from becoming invasive in an area. Its shallow root system and its ability to withstand frost make it a popular choice for wetland restoration projects.
