Carex Virgata

Carex virgata is a robust native sedge that thrives in challenging wetland environments, making it an excellent choice for ecological restoration projects. This vigorous coloniser naturally establishes in swamps, drain margins, seepages, and wet pastures, where it stabilises soil and prevents erosion. Its remarkable adaptability allows it to handle fluctuating moisture conditions—from consistently waterlogged areas to seasonally dry zones—giving you flexibility in placement. Widely used in wetland rehabilitation and revegetation schemes throughout New Zealand, this sedge creates habitat for native wildlife while improving water quality. Its dense growth habit suppresses weeds and requires minimal maintenance once established, making it a practical, low-fuss solution for transforming problem areas into thriving ecological spaces.
