Alkali bulrush is a native perennial, heavily rhizomatous, obligate, wetland plant that may reach 15 dm in height and form dense stands. Alkali bulrush is found at low to mid elevations in marshes, transient wet spots, pond margins, and backwater areas. It forms large dense stands in alkaline or saline sites.
