Carex geminata, also known as Cutty Grass, is a native New Zealand sedge characterized by its coarse, sharp-edged green foliage. It typically reaches a height of 50–100 cm and is especially suited for environmental plantings, including wetland restoration. With a moderate growth rate, this plant thrives in moist to wet soils, making it a valuable choice for ecological projects.

This sedge is resilient to wind and frost and, although it prefers sheltered locations, it can also tolerate some coastal exposure. Widespread across New Zealand, particularly in wetland areas, Carex geminata contributes significantly to erosion control and the restoration of natural habitats.
