Lepidosperma laterale
Lateral sword-sedge is a tough Australian native sedge that performs well in partially shaded garden beds, woodland gardens, and along watercourses. It is an undemanding plant that tolerates a range of soils as long as moisture is maintained, making it ideal for low-maintenance landscapes. Plant it in groups for attractive texture and habitat value for birds and small fauna.
