Blue sedge | Carex flacca

Blue sedge (Carex flacca) is a charming, grass-like plant that loves wet spots and shady corners but isn’t picky—it can even handle sun in cooler climates! With its blue-green, arching leaves and a slow, creeping habit, it creates a cozy, evergreen clump that stays tidy around 6-10 inches tall. Perfect for adding a splash of cool color to your garden while thriving in moist soils—even standing water up to 2 inches deep. In colder areas, just trim back the foliage in late winter, and it’ll come back fresh and fabulous every season!
