Everybody is doing it! Â You should too. Â Plant sedges that is! Â Sedges are becoming increasingly popular as ground cover. Â If you are thinking of ripping out that nasty Lirope(lily turf) or replacing your invasive Aegopodium(bishop's weed) or even just filling in an empty hole in the landscape;Â Carex should be at the top of the replacement list.Â
Â
Sedges are a grass like plant that are in the Carex family. Â There are over 2000 varieties of sedges and there are some native to almost every continent. Â There are varieties for any habitat. Â Most sedges prefer shady areas but there are some that do great in full sun. Â
Â
Gardeners are becoming increasingly attracted to their diverse foliage. Â From the fine textured Carex appalachia to the wide leafed Carex plantegenia, there is a sedge that appeals to every gardener's taste. Some sedges are even evergreen. Â
Â
To help you choose the sedge that is best for your needs, Watermark Woods has created this sedge comparison guide. Â Enjoy and Plant more sedges!
