Carex appalachica (Appalachian Sedge)

Light Shade to ShadeZone: 4-7, at least 6" tall Origin: USA

This superb sedge, native from Quebec south to South Carolina, is a must for shade gardeners. Naturally occurring in dry woodlands, even underneath hemlocks, Carex appalachica is adaptable to almost all garden conditions...except swamps. The very narrow, weeping, mop-top looking deer-resistant foliage makes an airy, 18" wide clump. When used singly or in mass, the textural contrast near bolder elements is simply stunning. If you've been looking for a shady replacement for an unmown lawn or a hairpiece that matches your green thumb, look no further. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
