Description / Carex pensylvanica

Carex pensylvanica, also called sedge, oak sedge or Pennsylvania sedge, creates a soft and plush underplanting beneath trees and is as attractive as it is easy to grow. Its green foliage is slender, delicate, and arching creating a very soothing almost ocean-like feel as it waves in the breeze.

This sedge prefers average soil that is moist but not soaked and thrives in part shade. The multihued green foliage will fill your landscape with greenery and interest. This variety of Carex pensylvanica spreads by rhizomes but will self seed if optimal conditions are met. Ideal for woodland gardens, sedge, a semievergreen perennial, acts as a stabilizer that ties everything in the garden together. It is also easy to care for because it is disease resistant, drought tolerant, and unappetizing to most pests. Welcome all to your garden with 'Banana Boat' and its sea of movement that is sure to please.

    I planted a slope in my impossible garden with PA carex over the course of 2-3 years, and sourced them wherever I cd find them (not necessarily Wayside). I'm not blaming the vendors, b/c I'm probably doing something wrong, but it's trickier than it's cracked up to be. My crop is beautiful at times/in places, but brown in others. I'm among the gardeners trying to get away from liriope, but apart from having to mow liriope in late winter (and TRYING to stop it from spreading aggressively), liriope is much more reliable than PA carex, at least for me. Too bad, b/c PA carex is a far more beautiful grass when it's happy...problem is that it's far harder to make happy. Just FYI/fair warning.
