Hay Sedge
Carex argyrantha
Overview
Hay Sedge is a perennial, tufting sedge that grows in clumps and is native to North America. It can grow up to two feet tall and has narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Its green and yellow flower heads turn brownish as they develop, making this plant one of the most visually interesting native sedges available. It is also a great landscape choice as it is low maintenance and provides excellent erosion control. It prefers damp, moist soils, and will tolerate most soils. Hay Sedge is best in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. Will provide colour and texture to any planted area.
