Field Oval Sedge (Carex molesta) is a compact, clump-forming native sedge known for its adaptability and understated elegance. This 32-plant pack is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a low-growing, low-maintenance plant that performs across a range of conditions—from rain gardens to borders to open woodlands.
With narrow, arching green leaves that form tidy mounds about 12–18 inches tall, Field Oval Sedge adds subtle texture and structure to both formal and naturalistic plantings. In late spring to early summer, it produces small brown flower spikes, appreciated more for their form than their color, and often used to enhance the visual depth of layered plantings.
Highly tolerant of sun, partial shade, and variable soil moisture, this sedge excels in tough garden spots, including areas with dry or compacted soil where other groundcovers may fail.
Why Choose a Tray of Field Oval Sedge?
Plant Field Oval Sedge wherever you need a resilient native groundcover, and enjoy its quiet beauty and adaptability in both designed and wild spaces.
