Carex flaccosperma
Blue Wood Sedge Zones: 5, 6, 7, 8
Blue Wood Sedge ranges from the central-eastern and mid-states down to the gulf coast in low woods and moist meadow edges. But in your garden, it is quite at home in a shady place with moist soil. Once established, it tolerates drought well. This is an evergreen sedge that would make a great replacement for liriope. It makes strong, slowly spreading clumps of fine-textured, glaucous, quilted, _" wide leaves. So use it as a border or mixed in with just about any shade loving wildflower. As with all Carex, a late winter hair cut will keep it tidy. Cat# 1461
