Carex grayi is an ornamental sedge that grows in moist environments as slowly spreading clumps. It is an uncommon sedge because it thrives in both woodlands and wetlands, as well as being a great choice for planting along streams.
Enjoy this unusual native sedge planted at the edges of ponds and fountains, in moist areas, or in decorative containers with other moisture-loving plants. Gray’s Sedge is a clump forming plant. It reaches three feet and produces unique, pale green seed heads that resemble three-dimensional, one-inch stars. It prefers moist soil, and light shade or part sun. It can tolerate drier conditions, making it suitable for rain gardens, bioretention, or bioswales.
