Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Native to the South West of W.A., this moisture loving sedge lends an untamed feel to ponds or stream sides. Happily growing in shallow water or constantly moist soil the bright green, deeply keeled, razor sharp leaves form large clumps from which long slender stems of pendant tassels emerge in spring. A favourite hiding place for frogs or as a feature in large water tight urns to add a touch of wildness in formal settings. Resents being cut back or divided like most sedges. May self seed nicely given moist conditions.
