Pale sedge
Carex pallescens
Pale sedge is a low-maintenance perennial grass ideal for woodland edges, shaded borders, and moist garden beds. It prefers part shade and consistent moisture, making it well-suited to areas that other ornamental grasses struggle with. Simply keep the soil moist and trim back old foliage in early spring to keep it looking its best.
