    Details

    Prairie Sedge (Carex bicknellii) is a clump-forming native sedge that brings fine-textured greenery and subtle charm to sunny, dry landscapes. Its delicate foliage provides a soft, natural border or groundcover, while its unique seed heads—resembling tiny pineapples—add interest in spring and serve as an important food source for birds.

    This 32-plant pack makes it easy to establish a low-maintenance matrix that blends beautifully with native wildflowers, creating a dynamic and ecologically beneficial planting. Unlike many sedges, Prairie Sedge thrives in drier, well-drained soils, making it a top choice for prairies, meadows, and tough garden spaces.

    Why Choose a Tray of Prairie Sedge?

    • Drought-tolerant & sun-loving – Ideal for dry prairies and open landscapes.
    • Wildlife-friendly – Provides seeds for birds and habitat for pollinators.
    • Low-growing & versatile – Great for borders, pathways, and naturalized plantings.

    Plant Prairie Sedge in full sun to light shade, and enjoy year-round texture that complements wildflowers while supporting local wildlife!
