Pretty Sedge is a truly pretty sedge that grows in the woods, making it aptly named in more ways than one. Dense clumps of striking green and yellow blades wrapped in red-tinged sheaths give rise to attractive, straw-colored flowers in the spring. Given time and space, Pretty Sedge will spread to form a wonderful weed-suppressing ground cover for the woodland garden.
