Question
Bath,ME. Marsh in someone's freshwater marsh backyard right in town! Lots of cattails, invasive loosestrife and this grass/sedge? Up to 5' tall when stretched out.
Answer
Dear sweetferngarden, the plant that you have photographed looks like Carex lacustris (lake-side sedge), a native member of the sedge family. This species is a frequent component of fresh-water wetland systems, including marshes, shorelines, and low areas in fields. It is a relatively robust graminoid (as you have noted). Best wishes.
