  • Question

    I believe this is a sedge. It is a prolific volunteer in my yard and I enjoy its filling in where i have removed grass. I would like to know what it is. Thank you. Concord, MA

    Answer

    Dear llsrvd, Your sedge (genus Carex) in the image is mature enough to supply a hypothesis about its identification, but the image is not close enough for me to see the details I require to help you. It looks like a member of section Laxiflorae, but I'll need better images to help you.
