Carex pellita is a species of sedge known by the common name woolly sedge. It is native to much of North America, including most of the United States and southern Canada. It grows in wet and dry areas in a number of habitat types, including disturbed areas such as ditches and roadsides. This sedge grows in colonies of individuals made up of clumps of stems 30 centimeters to one meter tall from a network of spreading rhizomes. The flower cluster is up to 30 centimeters long, a cylindrical body of overlapping flowers. Female flowers have dark brown or purplish, hairy scales with long tips. The fruit is coated in a fuzzy to woolly perigynium.
