Lance-Fruited Oval Sedge

Lance-Fruited Oval Sedge, also known as Pointed Broom Sedge, offers a compact form with upright, narrow leaves that create a dense, tufted appearance. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, inconspicuous brown spikelets that rise slightly above the foliage, adding a subtle textural contrast. This sedge is particularly effective in mass plantings where its uniform growth habit can stabilize soil and provide a lush, green carpet in wetland restoration projects. It is adaptable to a variety of wet habitats but performs best in sunny to partially shaded areas with consistently moist soil.

• Prefers moist conditions; suitable for areas that receive regular water or have natural wetness.
• Minimal pruning needed; trim back in late winter to early spring to remove old growth.
• Divide every few years in early spring to rejuvenate clumps and spread the plant.
• Excellent for use in habitat restoration projects, helping to prevent erosion and support biodiversity in wetland areas.
