We report on the isolation and evaluation of 11 microsatellites from a widespread eastern North American wetland sedge, Carex scoparia . Loci exhibit 3–9 alleles over five populations and significant F IS (0.204–0.717) in most populations. All primers cross‐amplify in at least two other species, and 10 cross‐amplify in the more distantly related C. stipata . These markers will be used to examine population genetics and patterns of chromosomal diversification in this ecologically important sedge species and its relatives.
