Emory's Sedge
Carex emoryi
Overview
Emory's Sedge (Carex emoryi) is a tufted perennial herb that can reach up to one meter in height. It has tough, woody stems, and wide, flat leaves that are arranged in clumps of three, giving the plant an umbrella-like structure. Its flowers are inconspicuous and yellow-green in colour, while its roots are fibrous and tufty. Native to North America, Emory's Sedge prefers partially shady, moist areas, often preferring to grow on slopes that are close to streams and wetlands. It is a hardy plant that is very drought tolerant once established, making it a great choice for difficult areas of the garden.
