Carex blanda-Common Wood Sedge

Common Wood Sedge is an adaptable, low-maintenance plant that thrives in almost any sun and soil conditions. It has medium-textured leaves and forms dense clumps that spread rhizomatically, making it suitable for use as a ground cover in disturbed or otherwise bare soil. The glossy, arching foliage emerges a vibrant green and takes on a subtle golden hue in the fall, providing year-round visual interest. Clusters of round seeds appear in late spring, providing food for birds and small mammals.
