Cyperus (Nutsedges)
3 products
The Cyperus genus, commonly known as nutsedges, offers valuable benefits to UK wildlife. These grass-like plants thrive in wetland habitats, providing shelter for insects and small invertebrates. Their dense growth creates nesting sites for birds and foraging grounds for amphibians.
Several Cyperus species produce seeds that attract finches and other seed-eating birds. The plants also support pollinators, with some species hosting larvae of rare moths. Their root systems help stabilise soil in riparian areas, reducing erosion and improving water quality.
