Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge
Carex scopulorum var. bracteosa
Overview
Holm's Rocky Mountain Sedge (Carex scopulorum var. bracteosa) is an evergreen perennial native to the Rocky Mountains of North America. It is a type of grass-like sedge with flowering stems that grow up to two feet tall and often form clumps. The foliage is bright green, narrow, and spirally arranged. The flowers are small and have a light yellow hue. Its need for moist soil, so common in the high-altitude Rocky Mountain environment, make it an attractive addition to mountain gardens. This sedge prefers partial shade and should be kept in moist, cool conditions. It is hardy and should survive for many years with minimal care.
