from $7.00

Carex brevoir | shortbeak sedge

A native sedge that grows in full sun, this sedge fills the ecological niche of a cool-season “grass” for dry, sunny sites. Found naturally in sandy and rocky soils, shortbeak sedge emerges early with chartreuse leaves and grows with a loose upright habit, reaching a height of 24 inches. Although typically occurring on dry sites, this species tolerates a wide range of soil moisture levels, including periodic flooding. Stems may flop in moister sites if not planted in a dense meadow-style planting.
