Common name weeping sedge Family cyperaceae Life cycle perennial Size 2', flower stalks to 4' Light part shade Cultural notes moist soil From seed provide cold treatment, then germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below As sedges go, this one is quite coarse. It was rather uninspiring for the first few years of its life, and still is not a stunner - but now at least the foliage is dense enough to make a statement (it was very sparse in its earlier years). The flowers/seedheads might merit the designation "interesting". In all, a plant I'll keep around, but probably not in the high-rent area in the middle of our side garden, where it lives now.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: side garden
