Wool grass (*Scirpus cyperinus*) is a perennial wetland grass, known for its dense, woolly seed heads. These seed heads resemble cotton or wool, giving the plant its distinctive name. It typically grows in moist soils, such as marshes and along stream banks. Think of wool grass as the fluffy sheep of the plant world. It provides habitat and food for various wetland animals. Unlike lawn grasses, it thrives in wet conditions.
