Characterised by its slender and tufted nature, this sedge adds a touch of grace with clumps of narrow leaves soaring close to 1m in height. Native to the British Isles and commonly found in streams and ditches, Carex acuta showcases spikes adorned with brown flowers during the late spring and summer months. While its invasive tendency might be a consideration for smaller ponds, this sedge truly shines as a terrific addition to the edges of larger bodies of water.
