Cyperaceae, also commonly called sedges, are a family of flowering plants that have a grass-like appearance. They can make great ornamental plants, as they have triangular three-sided stems with concealed blossoms. They typically grow in moist ground. Unlike most grasses used for gardening and landscaping purposes, sedges are cool-season flowering plants. They are upright and give out a relatively glossy and lush look.
