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.

Wood Sedge is a nice sedge for gardens and restorations where a fast spreading sedge is needed to cover ground, such as buckthorn removal projects. It spreads by seed. It has wide, lime-green leaves. It grows well in shade and part shade and tolerates medium-wet to dry soils.
