plant sale text:Pennsylvania sedge has delicate, narrow leaves that provide a lovely soft texture. This plant gradually spreads by rhizomes and makes an unusual and very appealing groundcover. This sedge prefers drier soils. This species typically is seen growing in well-drained soils, in partial or dappled shade, typically in open woodlands. Its foliage is lighter green in color through the spring and summer, and turns a pale tan color in the fall. The Carex genus supports up to 36 species of lepidoptera.
