Sedge 'Texas'
$6.75
Carex texensis
Texas sedge is a good-looking, multipurpose, native sedge with bunches of fine-textured leaves. Petite spikelets in spring emerge through the foliage. Texas Sedge can form a ground cover, which does not require mowing but can be mowed occasionally at a high setting if desired. It can handle light foot traffic but would benefit from stepping stones for constant crossings. Texas Sedge is also valuable for naturalizing and restoration. In the wild, Carex texensis is found in sandy woodlands and savannas ranging from the East Coast to much of the Midwest. This multipurpose sedge performs in both moist soil and dry shade.
