Carex lupulina, also known as the Common Hop Sedge or Hop Sedge, is a versatile and hardy plant that can grow up to 2 ft tall. It is a perennial grass that can grow in a wide range of soil types, including fine and medium textures. Its fine green foliage is porous, making it ideal for use in wetland areas. The plant produces tiny yellow fruit and flowers in late spring and summer. Hop Sedge is commonly found in wet deciduous or mixed swamp forests, forest openings, and wet meadows. It is a great choice for gardeners who want a low-maintenance, long-lasting plant that can survive in harsh environmental conditions.
