Kyllinga alba is an extremely hardy sedge with a basal, grass-like tuft of bright green leaves.
The clustered white flower head is carried on a long slender stem and has long green bracts. The flowers are borne in summer.
Even though it is a sedge it does not thrive in wet areas but does tolerate moist or dry conditions.
A pretty addition to a grassland garden. Traditionally used to make beer strainers.
Size: 30 to 45cm
