Commonly called sedges, Carex are go-to plants for all kinds of projects.
Sedges, especially native species, are workhorses. They’re valuable groundcovers, useful in ecological plantings, and perform important functions anywhere folks demand plants that do more.
When we think of the color of sedges, we often think of a light or mid-tone green. And although delightful, the shades of sedges are much more than that. Sedge grows in blues, silvers, dark greens, golds, browns, oranges, and everything in between. We love sedges for their beauty, versatility, and functionality. They work great in a variety of landscapes and container plantings as well as serve as building blocks for environments that are beautiful and low maintenance.
