Hudson Bay Sedge

Overview

Hudson Bay Sedge is a perennial, evergreen, grass-like plant. Its delicate, but tough stems are tightly and evenly tufted with narrow grey-green leaves that reach up to 4 1/2 inches long. In the spring, stalks of light yellow-brown flowers emerge from the center of the plant. This plant loves wet, shady spots which is why it’s commonly found near riparian areas, wetlands, streambanks, and swamps. While its lower foliage may stay green in all seasons, vegetative growth will die back in the winter. Hudson Bay Sedge is great for use as a diversity of rain and butterfly gardens. It retains its vivid green color all year and is drought-tolerant once established.
