Slender-Foot Sedge

Slender-foot sedge is a perennial sedge native to moist forests, streambanks, and riparian zones of western North America. It forms loose clumps of narrow, arching leaves and produces slender flowering stems with small, delicate seed spikes. Preferring part shade and consistently moist soils, it often grows in association with other woodland sedges and herbaceous understory plants. This species provides valuable groundcover, helps stabilize soils in shaded riparian areas, and supports biodiversity by offering habitat and food resources for insects and small wildlife.
