Seersucker Sedge
Seersucker Sedge (Carex plantaginea) is a delightful perennial sedge that graces gardens with its unique charm. As a member of the Carex genus, this sedge stands out with its distinctive pleated or "seersucker" foliage, resembling the fabric pattern. The leaves are broad, often heart-shaped, and have a pleasing light green color. Seersucker Sedge typically grows in clumps, reaching a height of around 12 to 18 inches. It's an adaptable plant, thriving in shaded or partially shaded areas with moist, well-drained soil. In late spring to early summer, it produces small, inconspicuous flowers. While the flowers may not be the main attraction, the textured foliage of Seersucker Sedge is what truly steals the spotlight. Due to its unique appearance and adaptability, this sedge is often used in woodland gardens, shade gardens, and naturalized areas, bringing a touch of whimsy and elegance to any landscape. Gardeners looking to add texture and visual interest to their shaded garden spaces will find Seersucker Sedge to be a wonderful choice.
