Palm Sedge Grass
Product Description: Palm Sedge Grass
Graceful Foliage for Water’s Edge!
Palm Sedge (Carex muskingumensis) is a lovely and graceful plant that has brilliant green foliage and striking oat-brown florets. True to its name, the leaves grow in a pinwheel pattern which makes it look very \’palm-like’. Striking yellow fall color extend the seasons of interest with this native wetland accent plant.
These water-lovers are native to the central and upper Midwest and are named after the Muskingum River in Southeast Ohio. They are found in shaded wet sites, floodplain forests and lowland woods – so you know they will thrive in that low spot in your garden, beside your decorative pond or in that fountain \’splash zone’ that is too wet and shady for anything to grow.
Pair it in mixed borders or planters with other plants that love moisture like Juncus or Acorus. Try Palm Sedge in big drifts along a ditch or next to a low-lying fence. Buy 3, 5 or 7 plants and place 1 foot on center for fast spreading groundcover. Palm Sedge will instantly ground a swimming pool to its surroundings, too.
It prefers dappled partial shade but will grow well in full sun as long as it gets steady water. Bring this hardy native to your garden today!
