Description

>>>>>Oak Sedge (Carex pensylvanica) is planted for its attractive grass-like green foliage>>>>>. Foliage maintains well all year provided that certain cultural conditions are met. Carex plantaginea is native to rich deciduous forests in the eastern United States up to Canada. While it excels in moist shaded sites in calcareous soils, it can adapt to difficult dry shaded sites quite well once established. If low temperatures hit 5 degrees F, foliage finally back to the ground and re-emerges in early spring. Generally this plant can decline after a few years of Kansas climate but worth a try in reasonable soils in well-tended shade gardens. Tolerates moderate dry shade with regular weeding: competition with weeds seem to be an issue in low maintenance gardens.
