Carex rosea is a native North American woodland sedge that forms low-growing, spreading mats. Growing 6-12 inches tall, this species features narrow, bright green leaf blades and delicate, rosy-pink flower/fruit spikes. Rosy Sedge prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils in partial shade to full shade conditions. It is naturally found in rich, deciduous forests and other shaded, humid habitats. In the landscape, Carex rosea makes an excellent groundcover or accent plant for woodland gardens and shaded borders. Its mat-forming habit allows it to effectively cover the ground and suppress weeds. Rosy Sedge also provides visual interest with its unique inflorescences. With minimal maintenance required, it is an adaptable and resilient native sedge.
