Description

This fine grasslike plant does well in forested and shady areas, in a variety of soils. This is a great sedge for landscaping with a very ornamental seed head and clump-forming nature. Plant it under a small tree, and it will not be shaded out as the tree grows! It spreads gently by rhizomes and by seed to form a meadowy carpet that tolerates light foot traffic. Though it will reach only 2″ in height, it can be mowed once or twice a year if you wish a more manicured appearance.

Can purchase 1/2 flat (16 plants) or full flat (32 plants).
