Grey's Sedge
Carex grayi
- Carex grayi is a perennial sedge that forms attractive slowly spreading clumps.
- The narrow leaves are shiny, upright and are usually semi-evergreen.
- In early summer greenish spherical flower spikes are held above the graceful shaggy foliage.
- The unique flowers resemble a starburst even after they transition into warm brown seed clusters.
- This sedge prospers in part sun to part shade in moist or wet soils. Plants tolerate full sun if abundant moisture is present.
- Carex grayi is native to most of the eastern and central United States.
