STAR GRASS
16 March 2013
WEEDS
Sadly, the first one growing among the Star Grass (Scientific Name: Dichromena colorata) was already removed.
As for the second one which looks like a Torenia to me, I managed to harvest some of them for planting in waterlogged areas and they are doing well. I hope to see a nice carpet in time to come.

From the Cyperaceae Family, this beautiful sedge with white flowers has many common names White Star Grass, Star Rush, White Bracted Sedge and White Topped Sedge.The synonyms include Dichromena latifolia, R. colorata and D. colorata. This plant makes a good marginal plant and performs well at sites where there is abundant water or with a high ground water table.
