Large yellow sedge is a clump-forming, grass-like perennial that thrives in moist to wet soils, making it ideal for rain gardens, pond margins, and bog plantings. It prefers full sun to partial shade and should never be allowed to fully dry out between waterings. Once established, it is very low maintenance and provides attractive texture and wildlife habitat in the landscape.
