Grassy Forb With Spikeballs?

6 years ago

This forb was found growing down by the river at a park. It had these seed spikeballs about ~1" in diameter. What is it?

Cyperus species, 56 in Texas. Something similar to C.strigosus or C. squarrosus .

The title was priceless. I agree that it is some type of sedge.

It looks like Nut grass ; Nut sedge (Cyperus rotunda) a very unwanted sedge. Make sure you get all the roots and stolons out. They can go very deep and keep an eye out for more next year and the year after that and after that. It is very chemically resistant stuff..
