Green Sheathed Sedge
Carex feta
Overview
Green Sheathed Sedge (Carex feta) is an evergreen grass-like plant found mostly in roadside ditches, shallow waters and wet meadows in temperate Asia and Europe. Its erect leaves are slender and wiry and bear three to six-flowered flower spikes with perigynia sheathed in a green involucre. The sheath is 3–6mm long and covered with fine hairs. Green Sheathed Sedge also produces a small yellowish-brown fruit, creating a striking contrast against its green foliage. It can grow to heights between 4 to 16 inches in full sun to part shade. With its attractive foliage and low-maturity needs, this species is a popular choice for gardeners.
