Carex cherokeensis / CHEROKEE SEDGE

Carex cherokeensis, commonly known as Cherokee Sedge, is a graceful, native perennial grass that thrives in woodland and shaded garden environments. It features slender, arching green leaves with a fine, soft texture, creating a delicate, airy appearance. Cherokee Sedge prefers moist, well-drained soil and does best in partial to full shade, making it ideal for shaded borders, under trees, or as a ground cover in low-light areas. This sedge forms dense clumps, providing excellent erosion control and adding natural texture to the landscape. With its adaptable nature and subtle beauty, Carex cherokeensis is a low-maintenance choice for creating peaceful, shaded garden spaces.
