Carex albolutescens, commonly known as Greenish-white Sedge or Greenwhite Sedge, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to wetland habitats including freshwater marshes, swamps, and wet woodlands in the lower Midwest and Eastern United States. It plays a crucial role in wetland ecology, stabilizing soil and providing habitat for wildlife. This sedge typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters) with a clumping habit. It features narrow, grass-like leaves and inconspicuous greenish-white flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The flowers are not particularly showy, but they do produce small, brownish seed capsules that can be of interest.

Greenish-white Sedge is valued for its ability to thrive in wet conditions and is often used in rain gardens, wetland restoration projects, and as a naturalizing plant in moist garden areas. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring consistently moist to wet soils and can tolerate a range of soil types from acidic to neutral pH. It prefers full sun to part shade conditions. While generally disease-free, it can become invasive if conditions allow for unchecked growth.CC BY-SA 4.0
