Carex nebraskensis (Nebraska Sedge)

Carex nebraskensis, commonly known as Nebraska Sedge, is a grass-like perennial plant native to the Great Plains region. It typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet and thrives in alkaline soil conditions. Nebraska Sedge is known for its dense clumps of narrow, arching dark green leaves that provide a striking contrast to other plants in the landscape. It produces inconspicuous flower spikes in late spring, followed by small, brown seed heads. This plant is an excellent choice for adding texture and visual interest to gardens and natural landscapes.
