Attractive native sedge, with gentle yellow variegation on the edges of leaves (it's visible only from close by view and during early summer).
Clumps open to little "palms", this selection out-performs the species! Very adaptable to soil and light conditions offers many plant combinations.
It doesn't react well to mowing (just common spring clean up, but not regular mowing).
Blooming time: during May, the flowers persist till fall
Size: 18-24” tall and wide, in time clumps get wider a bit. With lots of nutrients and moisture can reach 28" in height and 38" in width.
USDA zones: 4 to 9
Culture: full sun, half shade, dappled shade, shade. Adaptable to various soil types, including clay. Appreciates some organic matter. Average moisture (medium), medium-moist to moist/wet. Tolerant to heat, humidity and some drought.
Moisture Needs: adaptable - from average (medium) to moist, moist/wet. Tolerates drier shade.
Origin: Selected by famous landscape architect Wolfgang Oehme. The species of Carex muskingumensis is native to central and upper Midwest, where can be found in floodplains or moist lowland woods, see the USDA distribution map.
Black walnut tolerance: yes
Deer/rabbit resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: we expect that it can serve the same ecological function, just like the species = host plant for caterpillars of several moths, skippers, and butterflies, many species of grasshoppers and bugs.
Attracts Hummingbirds / Other bird and wildlife support: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" perennial pot
Plant combinations: Since it's very adaptale plant - it can be planted in a sunny, half shade or shade bed, and from average soil up to wet, saturated or waterlogged soil. This allows endless possible combinations with many perennials, bulbs, ephemerals and grasses....for example with with Astilbe, Bergenia, Brunnera, Chelone, Dicentra, Echinacea, Epimedium, Eupatorium, Hosta, Iris (moisture loving irises like I. sibirica, I. pseudata, I. ensata, I. versicolor, Iris virginica, I. setosa), Physostegia, Leucanthemum, Monarda, Persicaria, Phlox, Rodgersia, Rudbeckia, Primula, Phlox, Polygonatum, Primula, Sanquisorba, and native spring ephemerals (Jeffersonia, Mertensia, Sanquinaria, Trillium, etc), spring bulbs and smaller clumping ferns.
