Palm Sedge (Carex muskingumensis) 12-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. Read more here.
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.
