Buxbaum's Sedge

Overview

Buxbaum's Sedge (Carex buxbaumii) is an evergreen sedge with bright green narrow leaves that form dense tufts of up to 30 cm in height. It is native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. It prefers moist, well-drained soils in open woodland areas, grassland, and wet meadows. Flowers bloom in summer and are here pale yellow-brown in colour. This sedge is low maintenance; making it a good choice for naturalizing in woodland areas and along pond and stream edges. Its spreading nature creates a pleasing, textured groundcover, and it is a good choice for erosion control in shady moist areas. It's also deer and drought resistant for added convenience and low maintenance.
