A lovely sedge for moist areas in dappled sunlight, part shade or even some sun with adequate moisture, it is quite at home near a stream or woodland edge. This charming sedge will grow to 1-2' tall and wide with arching leaves, spreading slowly by rhizomes. It makes a great edging, accent or ground cover.

Do not cut back as it will be slow to recover its foilage.
