Carex divulsa, commonly known as European grey sedge or grassland sedge (and often sold commercially, though mistakenly, as “Berkeley sedge” or Carex tumulicola), is an adaptable, evergreen, perennial sedge native to Europe, northern Africa, and the Caucasus region. It is a clumping grass and can grow in a wide range of conditions, from full sun to shade, and tolerates both moist and drier soils. It produces insignificant bronze flowers in late spring to early summer and has dark brown fruit in summer. Inflorescences are a key difference between C. tumulicola and divulsa. C. tumulicola has a triangular cluster of dark spikelets at the top of the stem, whereas C. divulsa has longer, interrupted, pom-pom-like inflorescences with gaps (internodes) between the spikelets.
