plant sale text:Rosy sedge is an attractive, clumping sedge with thin, fine-textured leaves. It is adaptable to both dry and wet areas, making it ideal for difficult dry shady areas. Use rosy sedge as a low-growing groundcover, or as an interesting accent plant among spring wildflowers. Because it slowly spreads by rhizomes, it is also a good native substitute for non-native groundcovers such as liriope and mondograss. The Carex genus supports up to 36 species of lepidoptera.
