Carex Caryophyllea F. Pedunculata

Redstem sedges, scientifically known as Carex caryophyllea f. pedunculata, are striking wetland plants characterized by their distinctive red stems and grass-like foliage. Native to regions with moist soils, they thrive in marshes, swales, and along stream banks where water is consistently present. Their unique appearance makes them a valuable addition to ecological restoration projects and natural landscapes. The plant's ability to stabilize soil and filter water contributes to its ecological importance. Despite their beauty, they are often overlooked in favor of more showy flora.
