Sallow Sedge (Carex lurida)

From $6.00

I'm native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY

I thrive in any sun exposure, but prefer wetter soils.

I'm a host plant to several different species of Skipper butterflies and moths.

I'm clump forming with graceful fountain-like habit.

I have attractive spiky seed heads.

I'm lovely in large groups around ponds or water gardens.
