US Native Sedge Seeds
These Sedge seeds are an interesting bunch. Most of these come from the genus of Carex and most are cool season type grasses. A lot of sedges are at home in a wetland habitat, but there are some that tolerate mesic soils as well. There are actually hundreds of the Carex family in existence, so this is just a sampling of the unique species to be found in this family. They are almost impossible to identify by their leaves, but identification becomes more apparent when the seed heads appear because they are so unique.
