Carex rosea is a native woodland sedge that tolerates a wide range of soil types and moisture levels. The slow-growing plants have a small, graceful mounding habit, making them a great, long-lasting ground cover for shady areas. As with most Carex, these are cool-season plants that do most of their growing in early spring and fall, and can remain evergreen in many winters. Critter resistant, this species makes a perfect base layer in small gardens, large borders, or natural woodlands.
