Small-fruited Bulrush

Leaves attractively tinged with red at the base (like a barber-pole effect). Good soil-stabilizer along stream banks, storm-water ponds and wet meadows. It grows in many types of moist and wet habitat. It is a perennial herb growing from a long rhizome system. The erect, three-angled stems often exceed one meter tall. Sheathing leaves occur at the stem bases as well as higher up the stems. The inflorescence is a panicle of many clusters of spikelets and leaflike bracts on long, thin branches. The fruit is a pale, smooth achene less than 2 millimeters long.
