Carex kuchunensis is a tussock-forming perennial sedge from south eastern China, growing from a short woody rhizome. It is grown mainly as an ornamental grass-like plant in mild climates, and prefers moist, well-drained conditions.
Carex kuchunensis is a tussock-forming perennial in the family Cyperaceae. It is endemic to south eastern parts of China in the provinces of Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong.
The sedge has a short and woody rhizome. It forms culms that are typically 50 to 76 cm (20 to 30 in) in length. The wide, flat, leathery and broadly linear shaped leaves are usually a little longer than the culms. When it flowers it forms four to five flower spikes followed by purple to black coloured nutlets.
