Bolboschoenus fluviatilis

Bolboschoenus fluviatilis, or River Club-rush, is a vigorous, rhizomatous sedge native to wetland and riparian areas of Australia. Growing up to 2 meters tall, it features upright, triangular stems and dense, rounded clusters of spikelets that produce distinctive brown flower heads. This hardy plant thrives in waterlogged soils, shallow water, and along the edges of rivers, lakes, and floodplains, tolerating fluctuating water levels.

River Club-rush is a key species for wetland restoration and waterway health, playing a critical role in soil stabilization and reducing erosion with its extensive root system. It also provides valuable habitat and food for aquatic and semi-aquatic wildlife, including birds, insects, and amphibians, enhancing wetland biodiversity.

Ideal for ecological rehabilitation and riparian landscaping, Bolboschoenus fluviatilis offers both functional and aesthetic benefits, making it a vital addition to projects focused on water quality, habitat creation, and the restoration of natural ecosystems.
