Blackened Sedge

Carex atrata

Blackened Sedge (Carex atrata) is an attractive, slow-growing evergreen plant native to Asia. It features thin, dark green, slender leaves that turn purple-black in cold temperatures. This plant is perfect for ground cover, edging, or as a low border in part-shade to full shade gardens. Blackened Sedge's small flowers bloom in the spring, and it requires regular watering. In fall, the leaves may turn a beautiful maroon color. Planting and maintaining this species is easy and incredibly rewarding, as the contrast between its dark foliage and its bright flowers make it a unique and stunning addition to any garden.
