Cladium procerum

Cladium procerum

Cladium procerum, or Leafy Twig-sedge, is a robust, tall, rhizomatous sedge native to Australia, commonly found in wetlands, swamps, and along the edges of rivers and lakes. Growing up to 2.5 meters tall, it features long, narrow, arching leaves and tall flowering stems bearing dense clusters of brownish spikelets, adding structural elegance to wetland environments.

Thriving in waterlogged and swampy soils, Leafy Twig-sedge tolerates full sun to partial shade and plays a vital role in wetland ecosystems. Its extensive root system stabilizes soils, reduces erosion, and helps filter and improve water quality. It also provides valuable habitat and food for aquatic and semi-aquatic wildlife, including birds and insects.

With its ecological functionality and striking appearance, Cladium procerum is an ideal choice for wetland rehabilitation, riparian restoration, and biodiversity-focused landscaping projects, enhancing both the health and aesthetic of water-sensitive environments.
