Carex grayi, or Bur Sedge, is a beautiful ornamental sedge, suitable for pond margins, water features, or any setting with consistent moisture. The remarkable spiked flowers form star-like seed heads which persist into autumn and winter for extended seasonal interest.

Bur Sedge spreads slowly to form an attractive clump in medium to wet soils.
