sedge, dense (Carex densa)

Dense sedge grows as an evergreen, compact grass-like tuft. Prefers open, seasonally moist areas. Chunky seed heads rise above the dense leaf blades on slender stalks up to 2.5' tall. Foliage slowly spreads to form small clumps. Useful for smaller gardens as a a sedge that doesn’t spread super vigorously. Good as a rain garden or bioswale plant. Tolerates summer drought in somewhat heavier soils. Deer resistant.
