Star sedge
Carex echinata
Star sedge is a compact, clump-forming perennial sedge that thrives in moist, partly shaded conditions such as woodland edges, stream banks, or rain gardens. It is very low maintenance once established and provides attractive fine-textured foliage year-round. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist and divide every few years to maintain healthy growth.
