Eastern Star Sedge (Carex radiata)
This grass grows to about 32 inches tall and wide. It's best grown in moist to moderately wet soil that's rich in organic material, in areas with dappled sunlight to medium shade. The soil should always stay moist, especially during hot summers when it needs regular watering. It works well as a groundcover in woodland gardens or as borders in gardens. It can be semi-evergreen, providing interest throughout the year and can be used as an alternative to non-native liriope.
Sun: part shade, shade
Water: medium, high
Pair this grass with the Cardinal flower, which has a similar growing environment.
