According to healthyyards org, "Native sedges, rushes and grasses are among the most diverse plant groups in North America. They provide important wildlife habitat, they improve water quality and reduce soil erosion. Sedges are becoming increasingly popular in gardens and landscapes as a ground cover or a lawn replacement option. We think sedges and rushes and grasses are particularly beautiful in winter. The birds picking the seeds in the quiet, cold winter days offer a heartwarming spectacle."

The insects learn to visit the flowers that are still yellow, as a kind of nature's checklist.
