Carex aggregata

Overview

Glomerate Sedge (Carex aggregata) is a small perennial plant native to North America. Growing to a height of 4-5 feet, it has a light green hue and ribbed leaves. This sedge forms dense, clump-like growths in moist or wet areas such as swamps, riverbanks, and wet meadows. In summer, it produces terminal spikes of creamy flowers. The glossy, dark brown fruits mature in late summer and provide food for wildlife. It is easy to grow and requires low maintenance, making it a great addition to native gardens.
