The hardy native Pennsylvania Sedge Grass (Carex pensylvanica) offers an excellent solution for adding greenery to shaded areas of your lawn where Turf Grasses struggle to grow! You'll definitely make a statement with this lawn alternative.
This lush Sedge creates a gracefully shaggy appearance and will add a lively look to those tough areas in your landscape. As the rich green foliage grows, the fine-textured leaves tend to mat down in unique patterns that resemble flowing water.
Heat and cold hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 8, this native Sedge grows into soft flowing mounds 6-12 inches tall and wide but can spread and colonize when allowed. Deer and rabbits seldom bother these Grasses!
Landscape Application:
Gardeners love Pennsylvania Sedge Grass for its ability to tolerate most conditions and soils. This North American native thrives in areas that don't receive foot traffic, such as beneath a well-shaded, forested roadside or side yard.
It naturally grows in shaded forests and bluffs, which makes it a super groundcover choice for those dimmer regions of your yard that don't receive quite as much sunshine. Instead of living with bare soil, let this lush green plant bring your yard back to life. Lovely edging and border plants, add a lacy fringe along a pathway or the front of your foundation planting with Pennsylvania Sedge!
Partner with broadleaved evergreens like Azaleas or Daphnes. This native plant would also support a Meditation or Zen Garden as a wonderful groundcover. Just add a Japanese Maple or special sculpture as a focal point!
Pot up in planters as a graceful filler and spiller with a prominent topiary or columnar evergreen as your container's thriller and let the compliments roll in! They even look great all year round in frost-free growing zones!
