Grey sedge
Carex divulsa
Grey sedge is a graceful, evergreen perennial that forms attractive arching clumps of narrow grey-green foliage, thriving in dappled shade and moderately moist soil. It is an excellent low-maintenance groundcover for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or under deciduous trees where grass struggles to grow. Trim back any tatty foliage in early spring to encourage fresh new growth.
