plant sale text:Cherokee sedge is another plant which should be considered as a substitute to a traditional lawn. It prefers some shade during the day as opposed to sun all day. It likes moist conditions but can tolerate average soils. This is a nice plant for meadow gardens or natural areas as it tends to have a clumping nature.
