Overview
Crawford's Sedge (Carex crawfordii) is a low-lying perennial plant that is native to North America. Its narrow, erect leaves arise from a central root crown, giving it a tufted or slightly matted look. These grass-like plants grow well in moist soil and are tolerant of both sun and shade. With its tall, brownish-green flower spikes and a delicate, evergreen texture, it adds visual interest to any garden. Heavily used by wildlife for nesting and sheltering, Crawford's Sedge is a must have for any environmentally conscious gardener!
