Carex Scopulorum Var. Prionophylla

Carex scopulorum var. prionophylla is a lesser-known yet striking sedge species native to the mountainous regions of western North America. This variant is distinguished by its narrow, grass-like leaves and compact, clustered inflorescences that bloom in late summer. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soils and is often found in alpine and subalpine environments. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure in horticultural circles. Its unique form and ecological significance make it a compelling subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
