Pennsylvania Sedge is soft, grass-like, and one of the first in the carex species to bloom in the Spring. The 15-inch clumps spread rather quickly, forming a soft backdrop for wildflowers, or a naturalizing ground-cover in prairies. Turning pale brown as the weather cools, this native sedge gives wonderful fall and winter color! Deer resistant!
