Carex plants, commonly known as sedges, are a genus of over 2,000 species of grass-like perennials that can be found all over the world, except for Antarctica. These plants are part of the Cyperaceae family and are often referred to as true sedges.
Carex are notable for their hardiness and adaptability to a variety of growing conditions, thriving in everything from full sun to full shade and preferring moist, rich, well-drained soils with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. Carex plants are versatile in landscaping, used for ground covers, turf alternatives, and even as specimen plants in containers. They are distinguished by their triangular stem edges, which is a characteristic feature of the genus. With such a wide range of species, there's a Carex plant suitable for almost every garden setting.
