Scirpus cyperinus, also known as woolgrass, is a versatile aquatic plant native to eastern regions of the United States and Canada. It grows in dense, slowly-spreading tussocks of arching green leaves with upright flowering stems, rising up to 5 feet tall. This sedge plant varies in appearance due to its short, tough rhizomes and fertile stems. Its woolly inflorescences remain attractive well into winter. Woolgrass can be found in many wet habitats, including marshes, ponds, and even disturbed habitats such as ditches. It can be used as a rice substitute when cooked, and was traditionally used by Native Americans for making bags, mats, and stuffing pillows. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, woolgrass is a great choice for any aquatic garden or wetland habitat.
