Carex stipata is a North American perennial plant, affectionately referred to as the Awl Fruited Sedge. Championed for its adaptability and year-round allure, this robust sedge is valued for its vivid emerald-dominated palette and stands a confident 1 to 3 feet tall.

Its long, narrow green leaves arch elegantly, offering a harmonious blend of textural appeal and visual interest.
