Rosy Sedge

Rosy Sedge is a petite native woodland sedge with a surprisingly broad range of garden uses. Fine, arching leaves form dense green clumps around a foot tall, while distinctive star-like flower and seed clusters appear above the foliage in spring.

Unlike many woodland plants, Rosy Sedge can tolerate both dry and relatively moist soils once established. It works beautifully beneath trees, along woodland edges, on shaded slopes, or as a low native matrix planting. Its seeds are eaten by birds, while sedges also provide foliage and shelter for a variety of native insects.

• Grow in partial to full shade in well-drained soil ranging from dry to moist.
• Cut old foliage back to a few inches in late winter if it becomes flattened or weathered.
