Description

Carex pensylvanica, commonly known as Pennsylvania Sedge, is a versatile, low-growing grass-like perennial. It is native to North America and is appreciated for its fine-textured, arching foliage that forms a lush, green carpet. This sedge is ideal for naturalizing in woodland gardens and offers an excellent alternative to traditional lawn grasses.

Suggested Uses

Pennsylvania Sedge is perfect for ground cover in shaded areas, under trees, or in woodland gardens. It can also be used in naturalized landscapes, as an alternative to turf grass, or in mixed perennial borders.
