Carex Virgata Common Name
Carex virgata
Carex virgata, commonly known as Swamp Sedge, is a robust, upright New Zealand native sedge widely found in wetlands, stream margins, and damp lowland areas. It features narrow, bright green leaves and forms dense clumps ideal for erosion control and habitat restoration. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it tolerates waterlogged and heavy soils well. Carex virgata is widely used in riparian planting, wetland rehabilitation, and natural landscaping due to its resilience and ecological value.
