A rhizomatous robust grass-like sedge is rhizomatous and perennial; it typically grows to a height of 4 metres and a width of 2 metres. It blooms between August and December or January and March.
Densely clustered spikelets bearing red-brown flower heads containing the seed.
Baumea rubiginosa is ideal for pots, ponds, and wetland revegetation. Attracts frogs.
Mainly occurs naturally in the South West corner of Western Australia, with the smaller population on the western coast. Isolated pockets also occur in the Northern Territory, Southern Queensland, and the Victorian coast.
The best time to sow Baumea seed is September to November to avoid hot, dry conditions.
