Carex woodii
Wood’s Sedge (Carex woodii) occupies a special place in our plant lineup. While it is not considered native to New England, it is native to nearby regions of the eastern United States and has proven itself to be one of the finest shade-tolerant sedges available. In fact, it was the highest-rated Carex species in Mt. Cuba Center’s recent sedge trials, earning praise for its vigor, adaptability, and attractive appearance. (Mt. Cuba)
We offer Wood’s Sedge because it fills an important ecological and horticultural niche. Its soft, arching foliage creates a lush woodland look, while its ability to thrive in dry shade, suppress weeds, and provide habitat value makes it a practical choice for challenging sites. For gardeners seeking a resilient, low-maintenance groundcover that complements native plantings, Wood’s Sedge is an exceptional performer.
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.
