Everwilde Farms - 1/4 lb Oval Sedge Native Grass Seeds - Gold Vault Bulk Seed Packet

Also called Broom Sedge, this native sedge forms bristly seed heads. This wetland plant is often used for rain gardens and wetland restoration. This sedge is a cool-season perennial, and so forms seeds early in the season, and drops its seeds in the summer. This wetland native provides forage and protection for small birds and other wildlife, as well as being important in wetland restoration. Renowned botanist Carl Linnaeus first included this species among the sedge plants in his landmark publication Species Plantarum. The genus name "Carex" comes from a Greek word meaning "to cut," referring to the distinctive sharp edges of most sedges.
