Carex billingsii
0 offers
Billings' Sedge (Carex billingsii ) is a rare wetland plant native to the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada. Its clumps of yellow-green foliage reach up to three feet tall in mature stands. It thrives in wet meadows, marshes, and shallow wetlands, preferring high levels of moisture, but is tolerant of periodic to moderate flooding. The dark brown seed heads remain upright after seed dispersal, and its thick rhizomes help the species to spread. Billings' Sedge is a vital component of wetland ecosystems and provides shelter for birds and small mammals.
