Drooping sedge
Carex pendula
Drooping sedge thrives in moist, shaded spots such as woodland borders, pond margins, or damp garden corners. It needs little attention once established — simply keep the soil moist and remove any dead foliage in early spring. Its graceful, pendulous seed heads provide year-round ornamental interest and excellent ground cover under trees.
