Three Square Sedge 

The Three Square Sedge is well known for its multiple uses, including weaving baskets and hats.

Schoenoplectus pungens are species of flowering plant belonging to the sedge family of Cyperaceae. Three Square Sedge and Three square bulrushes are the shared names of this plant.

These plants originated from South and North America and were widely spread worldwide. It usually appears in ditches, streams, marshy areas, floods, and along the pool margins and lakes. It is a herbaceous plant with a height of 1.5 – 4 feet at maturity. It is V-shaped towards its base and flattened at the tip.

These plants have dense roots and rhizomes that help in forming new plants. It consists of 3 angled, stout, erect stem, which is glamorous and light to medium green or bluish-green.

The shape of the stem is flat or slightly concave at the sides, and the three angles are either winged or wingless.

The white spongy substance inside the culm (stem) holds the leaves erectly. The leaf blade (photosynthetic part) originates near the base of the stem. The color of the leaves is light to dark green. The leaves are V-shaped towards the base and flat at the tip.

The flowers consist of sessile clusters and have small heads of several small spikelets that vary in colors. They bloom in many pretty colors like bright orange, red, purple, or translucent. These beautiful flowers attract hummingbirds and bees for pollination, but they also reproduce using spores. This beautiful sedge plant blooms from the Spring to the Fall, and its harvesting month is August.

They are progressive in every soil type, from moist to wet and clay to loamy soils. It can also grow in shallower soils in alkaline or saline conditions.

The dense root system of the plant helps in degraded areas to control the erosion and drought behavior of soils. It usually grows in stagnant water and wetlands. The growth rate of the three square bulrushes is high, and it spreads in a square habit.

The plant does not need proper watering and care when established. It is also salty water and water induction tolerant. The plant covers total sun exposure as it prefers full to partial sun.
