Long Beaked Sedge
Long Beaked Sedge is a semi-evergreen sedge native to the northern woodlands of North America. It will gently spread over time to create a deer-resistant groundcover or edging. Plant Sedge with native Asters, Columbines, Ferns, and woodland wildflowers like Trilliums for a lush naturalized shade garden.
North America hosts hundreds of Carex species. Though they resemble grasses, they have identifiable features such as triangular stems that help set them apart. Sedges can be found in natural settings from woodlands to wetlands to sandy dunes, so they are highly adaptable in the garden or meadowscape. They are often mass planted for groundcover, as they are low-maintenance and attractive all year round. At most, all they need is an optional late winter or early spring trim. After several years the clumps developed a hollow center, but division will help to keep the plants full.
Long beaked Sedge was featured as a top performer in a Mt Cuba Center Trial Garden Research Report. These reports evaluate native plants and related cultivars for horticultural and ecological value, highlighting the ecosystem services they provide.
