$7.99
Very valuable groundcover sedge for dry shade. Carex pennsylvanica is unpalatable to deer, rabbits, livestock, and other herbivores.
Pennsylvania Sedge forms soft, grass-like clumps of very narrow, bright green leaves. The clumps will spread, forming a nice soft mat. The leaves curl gently and turn pale brown for the winter, but the foliage remains partially evergreen, especially in milder winters.
