Carex pedunculata / LONG-STALKED SEDGE

Carex pedunculata, commonly known as Long-Stalked Sedge, is a native perennial that thrives in woodland and shaded garden environments. It features arching, narrow green leaves that form dense, clump-like tufts, providing an elegant texture to the landscape. The plant is notable for its long flower stalks, which rise above the foliage in late spring, bearing inconspicuous greenish-brown seed heads. Long-Stalked Sedge prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial to full shade, making it an ideal choice for woodland gardens, shady borders, or naturalized areas. With its fine texture and ability to thrive in low-light conditions, Carex pedunculata adds subtle beauty and texture to shaded landscapes.
