Ficinia deusta

Ficinia deusta is a resilient, perennial sedge with a striking, darkened appearance often resulting from its adaptation to fire-prone environments. Its slender leaves bunch at the base, creating a tufted look, while its round flower spikes add a touch of contrast with their lighter hue. This marsh-loving plant thrives in damp, peaty soils, its coloration and habitat offering clues to its survival strategy in the wild.
