Description
Carex secta is a robust perennial grass-like plant native to New Zealand. It typically grows in clumps with long, arching leaves that can reach up to 1 meter in length. The leaves are narrow and dark green, adding a graceful and lush appearance to gardens and landscapes. In summer, Carex secta produces long, slender flower spikes that rise above the foliage, bearing small brownish-green flowers. This sedge prefers moist, well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it ideal for borders, wetland gardens, or as a ground cover in damp areas. Its resilience and ornamental qualities make it a popular choice for adding texture and structure to garden designs.
