Description
Unlike most sedges which thrive in moist soils, Pennsylvania Sedge prefers dry to average soils with good drainage. However, plants do tolerate wet soils, making them ideal for any shady garden. Native to North American oak savannahs and dry woodlands, Pennsylvania Sedge makes a perfect partner for oak trees. Plants spread slowly through rhizomes, but are not overly aggressive. A good choice for erosion control and waterwise gardening. Plant in the wildlife garden to provide shelter and attract birds that feed on seeds.
Pennsylvania 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.

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.

"There is a swath on my backyard hillside that is difficult to manage. Nothing would grow there. I started trying to use decorative plants that can handle shade below our heavily wooded lot. I've had some success, but sadly this grass had 50% success. I like the idea, but it is slow going at first."
Not my best plant purchase this year.
"Came in mini pots and extremely root bound. I lost 1/3 of the plants I ordered. This was an expensive and disappointing purchase."
I would buy this product again
"Grows where centipede does not"
