Hop sedge exhibits a lush, green presence with a clumping growth habit, typically reaching heights of around 2 to 4 feet (60 to 120 cm). The foliage consists of narrow, elongated, and slightly arching leaves which may grow to a length of about 3 to 10 inches (7.5 to 25 cm). The leaves are attached to triangular, rough-textured stems which stand upright. In its flowering phase, hop sedge develops spikes of inconspicuous brownish-green flowers that swell into interesting seed pods, distinguishing it within the sedge family.
