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).

 

Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).

All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
