Garden Plant: Pennsylvania Sedge
Pennsylvania Sedge
Product Description: Pennsylvania Sedge
Native Lawn Alternative for Dry Shade
The Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica) offers an excellent solution for adding green to shaded areas of your lawn where lawn grasses struggle to grow. This lush sedge creates a gracefully shaggy appearance and will add a lively look to those tough areas in your landscape.
Gardeners love it 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.
As the rich green foliage grows, the fine-textured leaves tend to mat down in unique patterns that resemble flowing water. You’ll definitely make a statement with this lawn alternative.
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.
It thrives in medium to dry soil and prefers shade and partial shade. This plant grows slowly into colonies and does not germinate rapidly, so you may want to plan on ordering enough to cover the area you have in mind for it.
This native plant will never need watering. You’ll adore its low-maintenance nature and the plush, verdant character once established.
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.
