Carex lurida (Shallow Sedge) Seed
Description
Carex lurida, or Shallow Sedge, is a clump-forming perennial sedge native to North America. It features bright green, arching leaves and spiky, cylindrical seed heads that appear in late spring to early summer. The plant typically grows up to 2-3 feet tall and is well-suited for wetland and riparian habitats.
Shallow Sedge thrives in full sun to partial shade and wet to consistently moist soils, making it ideal for rain gardens, ponds, and water’s edge plantings. It provides habitat for wetland wildlife and helps stabilize soil, reducing erosion. Its bold texture and bright green foliage also make it a visually appealing addition to naturalized landscapes.
