Carex spissa - San Diego Sedge

Market price from $3.10 to $6.20

Carex spissa is a vigorously resilient evergreen perennial which hails from the sunny wetlands of Southern California. Often known as the San Diego Sedge, this plant proudly displays its strength and versatility across your landscaping designs. It towers impressively up to 5 feet with its unique blue-green leaves, offering a lush, dense ground cover that simultaneously controls erosion in damp areas. Spiky inflorescences bloom in hues of understated brown, providing a quiet charm throughout late spring and early summer. Despite its fondness for moisture-rich soil, the vibrant perennial doesn't shy away from drought and even thrives once firmly established in a new environment. Add to this its ability to bask in both full sun or partial shade, and you've got a low-maintenance, aesthetic introduction to any water-friendly space or coastal garden. Carex spissa is not just a plant, but the mark of a striking, yet effortless elegance on every landscape.
