Yukon sedge is a grass-like perennial sedge from cold northern regions, growing in lowland wetlands and moist ground. It is grown mainly for its tufted, ornamental foliage and suits cool, moist sites.
Carex bonanzensis, the Yukon sedge, or the bonanza sedge, is a species of sedge in the family Cyperaceae. It was described by Nathaniel Lord Britton in 1901.
Carex bonanzensis is native to parts of Siberia and other sections of the Subarctic region, primarily within far north Canada, mid-Russia, and far northeastern Russia. It grows at elevations of 50–900 m, which are referred to as "lowlands".
Carex bonzanensis has no recorded uses, although there may have been native uses before the species initial discovery; most likely being used by Subarctic tribes.
