Plants produce up to 1' sprays of finely textured green foliage that turns the color of wheat toward autumn. This highly serviceable Sedge is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and tolerant of shade, part shade, and dry shade. It is also a larval food plant for native butterfly caterpillars. The Sedge can be used in borders to fill in around the bases of tall perennials or planted en masse as a substitute for lawn. Plants spread gradually by rhizome, but are not invasive. They form a dense mat that can be mowed two to three times per season to a height of 3-4\".

Otherwise known as Sedges, these diverse perennials are identified by their unique triangular stems as described in the beloved botanical mnemonic, “Sedges have edges, Rushes are round…” Sedges, sometimes grown as annuals depending on a region’s cold hardiness zone, have either a spreading (rhizomatous) or a tufted habit. Their linear leaves, from hair-like to strap-shaped, can be deciduous or evergreen and are often colored or variegated, making these plants coveted for their foliage. There is a Sedge for practically every condition, whether sun or shade, wet or dry, which opens this genus to a wide range of uses. In gardens, they are great as ground covers (especially beneath or alongside shade perennials) or as toppers for sunny stone walls. They are finding their way into larger projects, too, such as bioswales and alternatives for lawns. Here at White Flower Farm, we love using Sedges in container plantings, where the leaves add linear interest and terrific texture amid annuals and succulents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLandscape Plugs™ are a boon to gardeners seeking an easy, economical way to plant sizable swaths of native perennials.
