Carex Pensylvanica 1Gal

Carex pensylcanica, commonly called Pennsylvania sedge, is a shade loving perennial sedge native to central and eastern North America. Occurring in thickets and dry woodland areas. This is a low sedge with soft, delicate, arching, semi-evergreen leaves (each to 1/8" wide). It typically grows in a clump to 8" tall. Narrow, grass-like, medium green leaves (to 8-12" long) are typically shorter than the flowering stems. Flowers bloom in late spring. 

Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Prefers loose loams in dry soils in sun-dappled part shade. Most sedges prefer moist to wet soils, but not this one. Plants spread by rhizomes. Suitable for underplanting, mass planting, and as a groundcover for dry shade.
