0 offers
American Woolly-Fruit Sedge is a species of flowering plant in the Cyperaceae family. It grows in the wetter areas of America, from the eastern seaboard and up into Canada. It has distinctive leaves that reach up to 60cm in length, and yellow flower heads that appear from June to August. Its most impressive feature, however, is the dense clusters of woolly fruits, which change from green to brown with ripeness. These sedges are a valuable source of food for many birds, and the vegetation provides shade and cover for small animals. American Woolly-Fruit Sedge is a great addition to moist areas and adds vivid colour to any garden.
