I love native sedges - can't you tell by my handle gonative :) and this one in particular. I use it when I have extras to spare at client's houses. It does self seed for me (I dig and pot up the extras) but not too much. Some of the other native sedges like C. rosea, bicknelli and especially blanda get a little nuts but they are so beautiful. There are so many, many more that are just so underused and hard to find: C. brevior, sprengelli, stricta, vulpinoides to name a few.

I like to mix the native sedges with the non native ones such as Carex morrowii & Carex glauca for a nice contrast. Pennsylvania sedge works especially well with these two.

gogal, so many to learn about. would love it if you'd post some image links for us!th so much,
mindy
is hobb's blue a cultivar of a native? (that's not an oxymoron is it?)That's my fav. new ...carex?

I have never seen anything reseed like some of the native sedges. Unbelievable. Been pulling out seedlings for months.

How can you tell the difference between this sedge and the dreaded nut sedge? To me, it looks very similar.
