Ficinia nodosa - Knobby Club Rush

Ficinia nodosa (Knobby Club Rush) is a hardy Australian native sedge that thrives in coastal and inland gardens. This versatile grass-like plant forms dense, spreading clumps of dark green foliage with distinctive knobbly seed heads that add textural interest year-round.

Perfect for erosion control, mass planting, or as a low-maintenance groundcover in challenging spots. Tolerates salt spray, frost, and extended dry periods once established. Grows well in full sun to part shade and adapts to a wide range of soil types from sandy to clay.

In your Ballarat climate, this tough sedge will handle winter frosts and summer heat with ease. Plant in east-facing and south-facing areas for best results, or use in full sun positions where its drought tolerance really shines. Excellent for native gardens, rain gardens, and waterwise landscapes.
