Fringed Sedge

Fringed Sedge is distinguished by its long, narrow leaves and gracefully nodding, fringed seed heads that appear in late spring and early summer. This sedge forms dense clumps and can reach heights of up to three feet, creating a striking vertical element in wetland gardens or along water features. It prefers shaded to partially shaded locations, making it ideal for understory plantings in moist woodland settings. Fringed sedge is not only aesthetically pleasing but also plays a vital role in habitat restoration and erosion control in wet environments.

• Requires consistent moisture and can tolerate standing water in its natural habitat.
• Cut back old foliage in early spring to tidy the plant and promote new growth.
• Ideal for naturalizing in wetlands or restoration areas to improve ecosystem health and stability.
