Carex amphibola, commonly known as Creek Sedge, is a semi-evergreen perennial grass native to a variety of habitats including moist woodlands, floodplains, and along stream banks in the Southeastern USA. It typically grows to a height and width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters), forming dense clumps of fine-textured, arching foliage. The plant features inconspicuous greenish-brown flowers in late spring to early summer, which are not particularly showy but add a subtle texture to the landscape.

Creek Sedge is valued for its adaptability and use as a ground cover in shaded areas, where it can form a dense carpet that suppresses weeds and stabilizes soil. It is often used in rain gardens, woodland gardens, and as a naturalizing element in informal borders. This sedge thrives in part shade but can tolerate full shade, and while it prefers consistently moist soils, it can adapt to medium moisture levels. It is generally low-maintenance, but occasional division may be necessary to manage its spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
