Calcareous Water Sedge

Overview

Calcareous Water Sedge (Carex aquatilis var. substricta) is a cold-tolerant, wetland grass, native to North America. It has rigid, dark green leaves and small yellow-green flowers. It grows in marshy areas and is tolerant of a wide range of water levels. The grass is an important habitat provider in wetlands, offering food and nesting sites for birds. It can also be used to reduce erosion and improve water quality by trapping sediment. In addition, it’s a great choice for providing year-long color in flower beds and borders. With its cold hardiness, neat habit, and adaptability to wet areas, Calcareous Water Sedge makes a great choice for any landscape.
