Description: Buxbaum's sedge is a perennial grass-like plant native to much of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in wet habitats like marshes, fens, and sedge meadows. This sedge grows in dense finely textured clumps, creating a textural contrast in your wet garden beds. The lower portions of the stems have a reddish-brown coloration that adds a touch of warmth. The inflorescences of Carex buxbaumii come in attractive shades of pink, red, or purple, adding a pop of color during the blooming season. This adaptable sedge tolerates various conditions and requires minimal maintenance once established. If you're looking for a low-maintenance plant for wet areas of your landscape, Carex buxbaumii is a great option. It provides year-round interest with its attractive foliage and flowers, and its clumping form can help to control erosion.
