Carex For Wet Areas
Carex secta (Swamp Sedge)
Swamp Sedge, Pukio
Carex secta, commonly known as Pukio or Swamp Sedge, is a striking New Zealand native sedge with bright green, arching foliage that forms large, fountain-like tussocks. Widely found in wetlands, swamps, and along stream margins, it provides excellent erosion control and serves as a habitat for wildlife. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers consistently damp soils. Carex secta is ideal for riparian planting, wetland restoration, and adding bold texture to native landscapes.
