Golden-fruited sedge is a sedge of sunny places. It is found in moist, open ground, often in calcareous soils. It can also be found in wet forests.
This sedge stays fairly short, but like a lot of sedges, the leaves keep growing after the plant flowers and sets seed. The perigynia (seed/achene covering) is green before it is ripe and when the achenes (name for sedge seeds) are ripe, they turn orange. And, lucky you if you find or grow them, because you can eat them and they have a crisp, nutty flavor.
Consider adding a few sedges to your garden or habitat. They host moth species and provide cover for other animals and insects. They also provide human interest since their seed heads areusually quite beautiful.
