This beautiful clumping sem-evergreen sedge can grow to be 2 feet tall and just as wide. It prefers part sun on the edge of woodlines and moist soils, while being tolerant of a wide range of soil compositions and PH. It is a host plant to a few species of caterpillars and great cover for small animals to hide in from predators.
