Pennsylvania Sedge

Pennsylvania Sedge – Carex pensylvanica – is a highly variable native member of the Sedge (Cyperaceae) family and is widely distributed, growing in woods, woodland openings, and thickets, on upland organic soils in average to dry conditions, over much of eastern North America. While this is a flowering plant, its blossom is rather insignificant and has no fragrance. It is one of the most sought-after perennial groundcovers in the horticulture trade.
