Plantainleaf Sedge 2 Gallon

Carex plantaginea

Plantainleaf Sedge is a native sedge that develops low mounds of light green long, pleated foliage in deep shade. Leaves brown in the sun regardless of how much water is provided. Used as an ornamental grass in moist woodland gardens. Plant with perennial Astilbe, Brunnera, Coral Bells, and Golden Moneywort. Divide in spring. Plant in moist to well-drained, average to rich soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter.
