Carex plantaginea
Plaintainleaf sedge
An interesting sedge with wide, textured, bright green leaves. Another common name for this sedge is "seersucker sedge" due to the unusual wrinkled texture on the leaves. In May purple-brown flowers will add additional interest to your woodland garden.
Thrives in a rich but well draining soil and part shade but is quite tolerant of other conditions.
This sedge grows in clumps and is lovely paired with Tiarella cordifolia (heartlevaed foam flower).
