Carex fascicularis

Carex fascicularis, or Tassel Sedge, is a robust, tufted perennial sedge native to Australia, thriving in wetlands, along riverbanks, and in waterlogged soils. Growing up to 1 meter tall, it features arching green leaves and distinctive, tassel-like flower spikes that add texture and movement to landscapes, particularly in wet or riparian settings.

Tassel Sedge is well-suited to a variety of moisture-rich environments, tolerating full sun to partial shade. It plays a vital ecological role by stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, and filtering water in riparian zones. Additionally, it provides habitat and food for native fauna, including aquatic insects, birds, and small mammals, enhancing local biodiversity.

Ideal for wetland restoration, rain gardens, and native plantings, Carex fascicularis combines ecological functionality with ornamental value, making it a practical and attractive choice for sustainable landscaping.
