Rough sedge
Carex muricata
Rough sedge is a hardy, low-maintenance perennial grass-like plant that thrives in moist soils with partial to full sun. It is well suited to rain gardens, pond margins, and naturalized areas where consistent moisture is available. Once established, it requires minimal intervention and will spread gradually to form attractive clumps.
