Hop Sedge

Overview

Hop Sedge is a perennial native sedge found in wet areas across much of North America. Its rise to 30 to 90 cm high makes it a great choice for naturalizing large areas. Its narrow green leaves are arranged in three ranks and remain throughout the growing season. The tan-coloured seed spikes will persist into late fall. For those seeking low maintenance flowers, Hop Sedge has pale yellow to green flowers in summer. This plant adapts to many soil types and is especially well-suited to flooded, marshy soil. It benefits from some regular moisture and will tolerate strong winds. Due to its hardiness and versatility, Hop Sedge is a great choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, easy to grow plant.
