Three Square Sedge (Schoenoplectuspungens)

Three Square Sedge: Schoenoplectus pungens, or the three-square sedge plant, is a North American and South American native species. It is a beautiful water-loving plant that will grow in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in either full or partial sunshine.

In nature, three square sedges occur in flood plains, saltwater marshes, bogs, freshwater swamps, near streams, and even ditches full of standing water. It performs well in shallow water, usually six inches deep or less.

TN Nursery customers rely on three square sedge to install in ponds or picturesque lakes, water gardens, rain gardens, and natural areas with often-standing water. Although it prefers a watery environment, the three-square sedge is conversely drought tolerant.

It is an agreeable ornamental grass--heat-tolerant, cold-tolerant, pest-resistant, salt water-tolerant, and disease-resistant. It is also not particular about soil type or quality. Once you plant the three-square sedge plant, it requires little to no additional care.

Three Square Sedge Assists in Helping to Minimize Harmful Soil Erosion

Water is in constant motion. Thus, it is a significant cause of erosion. Moving water can wash out the earth during its motions--waves, wind, or merely running its natural course down a stream.

The addition of water-loving plants can help mitigate this destructive force of nature. The roots of three-square sedges will dig into the ground, covering the soil and helping to retain it in its place, thus creating a more sustainable ecosystem.

The Handsome Good Looks of Three-Square Sedge

This swamp grass grows in impressively large underwater clumps and spreads fairly wide. It grows about three to four feet above the water's surface. The stems are forest green, erect, and reproduce each season by dropping seeds. Some gardeners like planting this grass in containers they submerge in the pond to help control the size and spread.
