Scleria triglomerata
Also called Tall Nutrush, Whipgrass, Tall Nutgrass
Whip nutrush is a tall, grass-like perennial sedge native to eastern North America, found in woodland edges, thickets, rocky ground and prairies. It is a wild plant rather than a common garden or houseplant, so it suits naturalistic or native-plant plantings where it can spread in moist to dry open woods.
Scleria triglomerata, also known as the whip nutrush, is a plant in the sedge family Cyperaceae.
Scleria triglomerata grows naturally throughout the United States and also in Canada. Its habitat is varied, including oak and pine woods, thickets, rocky areas and prairies.
