Palm Sedge is a woodland sedge with stems and leaves that spread outward like small palm trees. It grows almost like a sprawling bush. The distinctive shape gives shade gardens a unique plant structure throughout the season.

It grows well in shade and part shade and tolerates moist or occasionally wet soils. When planted closely, Palm Sedge forms a dense canopy that helps shade the soil and reduce weeds.

Palm Sedge works well as a matrix plant in woodland gardens. It grows well with shade perennials such as Woodland Phlox, Wild Geranium, Zig Zag Goldenrod, and woodland asters, helping tie a planting together while allowing seasonal flowers to rise through the foliage.

Also available in 12-packs of plugs here
