Key Attributes
About Fringed Sedge, Carex Seed
Fringed Sedge is a North American streamside and pond-edge perennial whose large glossy clumps have long anchored wetland soils. Its drooping seed spikes mature from pale green to tan. Caterpillars of the Eyed Brown butterfly and several skippers use sedges like this, and wetland birds forage among the foliage. Grow in wet clay or other consistently moist ground in sun to shade.
