Scirpus atrovirens
Common name: Dark Green Bulrush
Dark Green Bulrush thrives in standing water and is one of the most common wetland, rush-like plants, topped only by cattails and some invasive species. The habitat value of this plant is very high, with wetland birds/fowl and other creatures of this habitat prizing the seed as a primary late summer food. If you have wet areas and are looking for an interesting habitat builder, then this plant is for you.
