Carex Gracilis Var. Rudis

Slender sedge, scientifically known as Carex gracilis var. rudis, is a striking wetland plant native to North America. It is characterized by its slender, grass-like leaves and compact, spike-like flower clusters that bloom in late summer. This variety is often found in moist soils near streams, marshes, and pond edges, thriving in environments with consistent water levels. Its delicate appearance makes it a popular choice for ornamental gardening in wetland landscapes. Despite its beauty, it plays a vital ecological role by stabilizing soil and providing habitat for various insects and small animals.
