Carex radiata

This fun little swish of green reminds me of a Star Trek tribble. Remember those? Unlike tribbles, Eastern Star Sedge doesn’t reproduce rapidly, but it can be helped along by divisions.

 

This variety prefers dappled sunlight/part shade, and moist soils. Plant clumps in a woodland garden along with ferns and woodland wildflowers to form a gorgeously textured woodland garden.

 

Eastern Star Sedge gets its name from the tiny star-shaped flowers that appear on tall spikes above the grass blades. Songbirds enjoy the seeds produced, and the low profile and draping blades of grass provide habitat for various pollinators and small mammals (not tribbles).
