Golden Fruit Sedge

Overview

Golden Fruit Sedge (Carex aurea) is a perennial grass-like plant native to wetlands and moist meadows throughout North America. Growing up to 1 m in height, it has a clumping growth habit and produces long, golden-yellow, cylindrical seed heads rising above the arching, bright green foliage. It's an attractive ornamental choice for damp areas of the garden, such as bog gardens or near water features, where it will grow year-round. It's also great for helping to reduce soil erosion and providing food and habitat for wildlife.
