     If you love sedges but have a sunny site, check out Carex crinita.  This graceful and beautiful sedge grows naturally in open meadows, moist prairies, swamps and bogs, and along pond and stream banks.

 

     Fringed Sedge is a tall and likes to fill out, benefitting from room to spread.  Try it in a rain garden or along a border or even in a partly shady area.

 

     Bonus: Fringed Sedge also is evergreen, and it grows in clumps up to 3 feet tall before flowering.  In summer the flower spikelets droop, giving the sedge its name.

 

     Fun fact: crinita means long-haired :)
