White Tinged Sedge

Carex albicans

White Tinged Sedge is a native sedge prized for its attractive foliage and graceful habit. In late spring to early summer, inconspicuous flowers appear on slender stems above its white-edged foliage. Thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for understory plantings or rain gardens. With its low-maintenance nature and year-round visual appeal, this sedge is a versatile and valuable addition to shade gardens.

Maintenance Tips

  • Trim back dead or damaged foliage as needed throughout the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance.
  • Spreads slowly through rhizomes, but division may be performed in early spring every 2-3 years if desired to propagate or rejuvenate existing plantings. Lift clumps, divide them into smaller sections, and replant them in suitable locations.
