Schoenoplectus cyperinus (Woolgrass) Seed
Description
Schoenoplectus cyperinus, commonly known as Woolgrass, is a robust sedge native to wetlands, marshes, and wet meadows across North America. It is recognized for its tall, graceful stems and soft, woolly seed heads that emerge in late summer and persist into winter. These seed heads provide habitat and food for birds and small mammals.
Woolgrass thrives in full sun to partial shade and wet to moist soils, making it ideal for wetland restoration, stormwater management, and erosion control. Its extensive root system helps stabilize soils and improve water quality. It is also a popular choice for naturalistic plantings due to its ornamental and ecological value.
