Carex verrucosa are sedges almost restricted to wet savanna communities.[1] Thrives in wetland depressions in the southeastern coastal plain.[2]. This species is found in sphagnum bogs in pine woods depressions, cypress ponds, and sweetbay-titi swamps. It is tolerant a range of light levels, from shady to sunny. It grows in sandy loam and peaty soils that are wet to saturated. Also found in roadside ditches (FSU Herbarium).
