Carex globosa, commonly known as Roundfruit Sedge, is a perennial herb native to moist meadows, seeps, and streambanks in the coastal and interior regions of Oregon and California, extending into Baja California. It typically grows to 1-2 feet in height and width, forming dense clumps. Roundfruit Sedge has narrow, grass-like leaves and inconspicuous greenish-brown flowers that appear in late spring to early summer. The plant is valued for its ability to thrive in moist conditions and its use as a ground cover or accent plant in water-wise gardens.

Roundfruit Sedge is appreciated for its low maintenance requirements and its adaptability to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is often used in rain gardens, bioswales, and as a border plant in native plant gardens. While it prefers moderate moisture, it can tolerate periods of drought once established. It is best grown in part shade to full shade, mimicking its natural understory habitat. This sedge is not known for serious pest or disease problems, but it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered.CC BY-SA 4.0
