Fun facts:

Palm Sedge is perfect for wetland areas! It thrives in moist or even flooded soil, making it a great choice for rain gardens, pond edges, or other wet spots where other plants might struggle.

The dense root system of the Palm Sedge helps filter pollutants from the water. As it grows in wetland areas, it helps improve water quality by trapping sediment and absorbing excess nutrients, which can prevent water pollution and promote healthier ecosystems.
