Wool Grass actually is a sedge but it's called Wool Grass because of its grass-like foliage.  It's a strikingly beautiful plant featuring bronze or silvery coloring on long, slender stalks that blow gracefully in the wind.  Its wool-like inflorescences last well into winter.
 
     At home in wet and even standing water, Wool Grass is a larval host for moths and butterflies, and it provides food and cover for waterfowl.
 
     An aggressive spreader, Wool Grass is ideal for large areas and for restoration projects.
 
     Fun fact: Wool Grass was used to make woven mats and ropes, and for stuffing and making pillows.
