Grass/Carex – Pennsylvania Sedge

Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica) is a low-growing, fine-textured native sedge that thrives in dry to moderately moist shade. This adaptable, semi-evergreen perennial forms soft, arching clumps of narrow, bright green foliage, making it an excellent ground cover or lawn alternative for shaded areas. Blooming in early spring with delicate, inconspicuous flowers, Pennsylvania Sedge spreads gently by rhizomes, creating a lush, naturalized look. It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and low-maintenance, making it a perfect choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and erosion control. Ideal for adding texture and movement to any landscape.
