Carex pennsylvanica / PENNSYLVANIA SEDGE
Carex pennsylvanica, commonly known as Pennsylvania Sedge, is a native, clump-forming perennial grass that offers a fine, soft texture and a natural look in shaded or woodland garden settings. It features narrow, light green leaves that form dense tufts, creating a low-maintenance, ground-covering effect. Pennsylvania Sedge thrives in moist, well-drained soil and prefers partial to full shade, making it an excellent choice for woodland areas, shady borders, or low-light spaces. It is particularly valued for its ability to grow well in dry, acidic soils, making it ideal for areas where other plants may struggle. With its elegant form and adaptability, Carex pennsylvanica is perfect for adding texture and natural beauty to shaded or forested landscapes.
