Alpine bulrush
Trichophorum alpinum
Alpine bulrush is a delicate wetland sedge best suited for bog gardens, rain gardens, or the margins of ponds where soil remains consistently saturated. It prefers cool to cold climates and is not tolerant of drought or prolonged dry conditions. This plant is best left for specialist water garden enthusiasts who can replicate its naturally moist alpine and boreal habitat.
