Hybrid Sedge
Carex lupulina x
Overview
Hybrid Sedge (Carex lupulina x) is a perennial grass-like plant native to North America. It grows from 1-2 feet in height and has a cascading habit, making it a great specimen or accent plant for borders, yards, or gardens. Its dark green foliage forms a dense tuft which turns to orange in autumn. In addition to its ornamental value, it is also great for erosion control because of its aggressive nature. Hybrid Sedge also attracts butterflies and other beneficial insects to the garden. It is easy to grow and thrives in most moisture-retentive soils in both full sun and partial shade.
