Miniature flatsedge is characterized by its petite stature, typically not exceeding 1 foot (30 cm) in height. It sports greenish-brown flowers during the summer and displays unique short, needle-thin, leafless bracts that crown the stems. This evergreen plant thrives in wet conditions, ideally submerged up to 4 inches (10 cm) in water. It is favoured for growth in lightly shaded conditions and can withstand temperatures down to approximately 20-25 degrees Fahrenheit (-6 to -4 degrees Celsius). Miniature flatsedge's ability to produce a plethora of side-shoots allows it to form clusters, giving it a delicate and bushy appearance.
