Also known as Curly Wood Sedge, this plant forms thick clumps of delicate, arching foliage with deep green, narrow leaves. In late spring, from May to June, it produces unique, star-like seed clusters. The plant gets its name from the rosy hue that appears on a small portion of the otherwise green seed heads.
Native to Ontario.
They will grow in dry, moist or wet woodlands including difficult, dry, shady sites in bright shade or full sun. Established plants are drought tolerant, pest resistant and unpalatable to deer and other herbivores.
Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and start again when temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
