Description
Cherokee Sedge (Carex cherokeensis) is native to the southeastern United States, from Missouri and Texas, east to North Carolina, and south to Florida. It is usually found growing along the edges of woodlands in moist sites. This sedge prefers partial sun to shade and moist to wet soil, but is adaptable to full sun and average garden soils if given some water during dry spells. It slowly spreads by rhizomes, so it is a well-behaved sedge for perennial gardens. Do not cut Sedges down to the ground in winter or early spring, due to their slower growth rate; you can give a light trim in early spring to improve the form. Cherokee Sedge was a top pick in Mt. Cuba’s trial of Carex for the Mid-Atlantic Region, highly recommended for home gardens.
This sedge supports wildlife by providing cover for small animals, nesting material for birds, and is a larval host plant for Appalachian Eyed Brown butterflies, Georgia Satyr butterflies, Dion Skipper butterflies, and Dun's Skipper butterflies.
Planting & Care
Shipping
No shipping data
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
