Carex Secta
Description
Carex secta, is the ultimate wetland specialist. With its striking, tussock form and incredible resilience, this native sedge is perfect for bringing life and stability back to waterlogged areas.
Water Lover: Thrives in wet soils, swamps, and along waterways, standing tall even in flooded spots.
Erosion Fighter: Its dense roots anchor soil, protecting streambanks and wetland edges from erosion.
Wildlife Haven: Birds and insects love its shelter, and its lush growth supports wetland biodiversity.
How to Use It
- Plant it in swamps, riparian zones, or any boggy area needing a helping hand.
- Pair with cabbage trees and flax for a lush wetland vibe.
- Practically self-sufficient—just keep the weeds down while it establishes.
Carex secta is a wetland workhorse and a beautiful addition to any restoration project. If you're after a mass planting around cattle yards/milking sheds or around a duck pond then getting a few hundred of these in will look great.
