Boreal Bog Sedge

Overview

Boreal Bog Sedge (Carex magellanica subsp. irrigua) is an evergreen plant from the Cyperaceae family. It is mostly found in North Eastern parts of North America, typically in wet habitats. The perennial has an upright or prostrate habit and produces long, thin stalks that are often dark green in color. These stalks bear attractive triangular-shaped leaves. This species is dioecious, meaning male and female flowers are found in separate plants, with the latter producing small, nut-like fruits in autumn. Its tolerance to moist and acidic soil makes it an excellent choice for boggy areas and help to prevent erosion.
