Carex brownii

Carex brownii

Carex brownii, or Brown Sedge, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial sedge native to Australia, commonly found in wetlands, along watercourses, and in damp grasslands. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features narrow, arching green leaves and small, brownish flower spikes that provide subtle texture and structure to natural and designed landscapes.

Brown Sedge thrives in moist to waterlogged soils and tolerates full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for riparian planting, wetland rehabilitation, and erosion control projects. Its dense growth helps stabilize soil and improve water quality by filtering runoff, while its foliage provides habitat and shelter for aquatic and terrestrial wildlife.

Low-maintenance and adaptable, Carex brownii is a valuable addition to native gardens, rain gardens, and biodiversity-focused landscaping, offering both ecological benefits and aesthetic appeal.
