Also known as Cottongrass Bulrush or "Teddy-bear paws."  This is a densely-tufted, clumping rush that can be found in our wetlands.  Many brown, woolly bristles surround its nutlets giving a fuzzy appearance.  Good for moist gardens and alongside ponds.  Woolgrass is the host plant for the Dion Skipper butterfly and provides food for waterfowl.

This showy wildflower is easy to grow and low maintenance.  Found in open fields, disturbed areas, usually in sandy soils alongside our native grasses.  Its bright yellow daisy-like flowers attract lots of pollinators and transform into fuzzy spherical seedheads in Fall.  Drought tolerant once established.
