Heavy Sedge

Overview

Heavy Sedge is a bright green, grass-like herbaceous perennial. It spreads vigorously by rhizomes, forming dense mats of foliage. It grows up to 16 inches tall and its leaves are 6-12 inches long. It blooms in the summer, producing cream or yellow-brown flowers. Heavy Sedge is drought-tolerant and is a popular choice for moist or dry meadows, gardens, and cover crops. It prefers sunny areas, though it can tolerate some shade. Its evergreen foliage can provide winter interest even in areas with light frosts. This hardy species can also be used for erosion control due to its strong growth habit and thick, extensive root systems.
