Brownish Sedge

Overview

Brownish Sedge (Carex brunnescens subsp. brunnescens) is a perennial grass-like species with a semi-erect to prostrate growth habit. It is native to wetlands and bog areas in Europe, Greenland, and North America and can tolerate different soil types. It typically grows to a height of 8-14 inches and has distinctive brownish or copper colored foliage. The flowers are very small, usually yellow or brown, and grow in clusters above the foliage. Brownish Sedge is often used in gardens as an ornamental grass or in natural areas for erosion control. It is easily propagated by division and prefers to be kept in damp soil.
