I need to, very politely, differ with you. While you are absolutely correct, this is a sedge, I believe Cotton Grass is native to Britain. I had to look it up on Wiki, because I remember seeing a wonderful field of it over on Hoy, near the Dwarfie Stone. We must have been there at exactly the right time to see it in cotton. Wiki says that "Cotton Grass" Eriophorum angustifolium, is a sedge that is native across the EU and North America. Grows in highly acidic soils, such as peat bogs.
