Henderson's Sedge

Overview

Henderson's Sedge (Carex hendersonii) is an evergreen perennial native to wet, marshy areas of western North America. It grows in dense tussocks, with grey-green, wiry stems and whorled leaves. Its most notable feature is its fluffy catkin of brown flowers and foliage that often turn a ornate golden-brown in winter. The species is a crucial habitat for many insects and amphibians, and is perfect for naturalizing and stabilizing wet areas. Its adaptability and attractive form make Henderson's Sedge a great choice for ornamental and wildlife gardens.
