Carex Virgata Common Name
Carex virgata
Carex virgata, commonly known as Swamp Sedge, is a hardy New Zealand native sedge that thrives in wetlands, damp soils, and along waterways. It forms dense clumps of upright green foliage, making it excellent for stabilising soil and providing habitat for wildlife. With its resilience, low maintenance needs, and ecological value, Swamp Sedge is widely used in riparian planting, restoration projects, and naturalistic NZ gardens.
