Parasol Sedge is a new find—an amazingly short sedge for sunny or part-shade gardens! Parasol Sedge grows about one foot tall and forms tight mounds of fine leaves that stay compact through the growing season. While many sedges have tall seed heads that flop over, Parasol Sedge has super short seed heads that don’t. The fine leaves add softness and help knit the garden together. Don’t be afraid to plant this throughout a garden—you won’t regret it.
This sedge works well to plant in a matrix style garden. It is a great sedge to plant throughout a garden to create a consistent ground layer that supports flowering perennials. Think of Parasol Sedge, Blue Grama Grass, and Prairie Dropseed grass as the wall paint upon which your paintings, or flowers, are framed.
From a practical standpoint, Parasol Sedge fills open space between flowers and reduces the areas where weeds can establish. The leaves settle down in fall and create a light mulch that reduces weed germination.
Parasol Sedge has short seed heads that stay mostly hidden within the tight mound of leaves. This is a really fantastic characteristic that makes it perfect for planting next to shorter prairie flowers such as Prairie Smoke, Butterfly Milkweed, Prairie Phlox, and Puccoons.

Parasol Sedge forms short clumps of leaves that green up early in the spring, right after the snow melts. The seed heads barely grow 6 inches tall! It is great for borders and for planting around short flowering species. Parasol Sedge (Carex umbellata) is a valuable plant that can be scattered throughout a prairie garden to give green growth during the spring when all of the warm-season plants are still dormant and brown.
Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
