Carex cristatella (Crested Oval Sedge)

Crested Oval Sedge is a large sedge found in many high-quality wet prairies, sedge meadows, and marshes but it can tolerate a fair amount of disturbance, including occasional flooding. This makes this sedge an excellent choice for restoration projects.  Many butterflies, moths, and skippers use it as larval food and several species of birds consume the seeds.
