This is a native sedge which appears to be doing the reverse of escaping. I see more and more of this elegant looking sedge growing around "water-features" in gardens. It is reputed to prefer heavy rich soils but there is plenty to be seen on our light sandy soils in Cheshire. This is a large sedge up to 5 feet tall and really can't be mistaken for anything else.
