Cyperus Ustulatus

Description

Cyperus ustulatus, or giant umbrella sedge, is a standout for wetland and coastal restoration. Big, bold, and brilliant at stabilizing soil, this native sedge is a game-changer for bringing life back to challenging, waterlogged sites.

Coastal Cool: Thrives in wetlands, swamps, and sandy or coastal areas, handling salt spray and tough conditions with ease.
Erosion Expert: Its strong root system locks in soil, protecting vulnerable edges from erosion.
Habitat Hero: Birds, insects, and wetland critters love its shelter and the boost it brings to biodiversity.

How to Use It

• Perfect for coastal wetlands, riparian zones, and erosion-prone slopes.
• Team it up with flax, tī kōuka, and pōhutukawa for a coastal restoration dream team.
• Easy to grow—just keep weeds at bay during establishment, then let it thrive.

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.
