In almost all wet situations: hollows and ravines in forests, shores, sedge meadows, fens, and swamps (both coniferous and deciduous).
Smaller in stature than our other species and the commonest species of the genus throughout the state. The panicle is usually 12–17 cm high (rarely as small as 5 cm or as large as 25 cm). Probably our most variable species in color of inflorescence, the spikelets ranging from completely green to deeply suffused with purple. The two-ranked leaves are often strongly displayed in the shade of swamps and thickets.
