Bolander's Sedge

Overview

Bolander's Sedge (Carex bolanderi) is a tufted, perennial grass-like plant native to the western United States. It grows in wet, open areas with full sun to partial shade, and prefers cool, moist soils. The leaves are small, green, and narrow, and the flowering structures are curved and thread-like. It is often found in riverbanks, meadows, and other areas with consistently moist soil. Its bronzy-orange seed heads are used for food by songbirds, making it an attractive addition to gardens and meadows. There are also varieties with ornamental yellow or white foliage. Bolander's Sedge can be an effective groundcover and its drought resistance makes it perfect for low-maintenance landscaping.
