Blue Wood Sedge
Carex
Sedge
A diverse genus comprised of nearly 1000 species, most Carex originate in the moist habitats of temperate climates. Easily grown, our winning selections produce a variety of different colored leaves that promise to soften those sharp edges in your garden.
Each 10.25
Indigenous to the central and southeastern U.S., this handsome, arching sedge sprouts low, slow-spreading evergreen clumps of narrow, glaucous blue-green leaves. Heightened by creased parallel veins and slender golden-brown seed heads, the amenable small-sized habit appreciates a late winter cutback plus shady moist abodes, yet thrives in average soil and even tolerates dry conditions. Blue Wood Sedge can flank a stream bed, edge a pathway or be utilized as a deer-resistant ground cover for wooded gardens.
Blooms May–June
Size: 6" – 10" high x 6" – 12" wide.
Hardy to zone 5.
