Carex incomitata
Carex incomitata
Carex incomitata, or Few-flowered Sedge, is a delicate, clump-forming perennial sedge native to Australia, typically found in shaded, moist environments such as forests and riparian zones. Growing up to 50 cm tall, it features fine, arching green foliage and sparse, understated flower spikes, making it a subtle yet ecologically valuable plant for natural and cultivated landscapes.
Few-flowered Sedge thrives in well-drained to damp soils and prefers partial to full shade, making it ideal for understory plantings, native gardens, and shaded wetland areas. Its dense clumps help stabilize soil and prevent erosion, while its foliage provides habitat and cover for small wildlife, supporting local biodiversity.
Low-maintenance and adaptable, Carex incomitata is an excellent choice for enhancing biodiversity and creating soft, natural textures in shaded, water-sensitive landscapes.
