Bailey's Sedge

Carex baileyi

Bailey's Sedge (Carex baileyi) is an herbaceous perennial native to North America. It forms dense clumps of thick, narrow leaves of green to purple-green in color. In early to mid-summer, the plant displays spikes of small, yellow-green flower spikes that later become brown seedheads. Bailey's Sedge grows in moist to wet soils in full sun or light shade and is tolerant of a variety of soils. It is an easy plant to care for and requires little pruning or maintenance, making it a great choice for low-maintenance landscaping. Its clumping habit provides excellent cover and ground cover for wetlands and other areas with moist soil.
