Carex barbarae, also called Basket Sedge, is a California native sedge with a wide distribution. Basket Sedge is attractive in containers, and useful in bioswales to handle extra runoff from streets and parking lots. Watch Carex barbarae in more natural settings, as it can sometimes be an aggressive grower, and take over areas. Plant this Carex in areas where you would like to encourage wild birds to visit; they are attracted to both the seeds, and use the grass fibers for nesting material.
