Carex inversa

Carex inversa, or Knob Sedge, is a low-growing, clump-forming perennial sedge native to Australia, commonly found in grasslands, open woodlands, and along waterways. Growing up to 40 cm tall, it features fine, bright green foliage and small, knob-like flower spikes, adding subtle texture to natural and cultivated landscapes.

Knob Sedge thrives in a variety of soils, from moist to seasonally dry, and tolerates full sun to partial shade, making it a versatile choice for erosion control, groundcover plantings, and ecological restoration projects. Its dense growth helps stabilize soils and suppress weeds, while also providing habitat and shelter for small wildlife, enhancing biodiversity.

With its adaptability, low-maintenance requirements, and ecological benefits, Carex inversa is an ideal plant for native gardens, urban greening, and sustainable landscaping projects.
