Carex grayi

 

Gray’s Sedge is an ornamental sedge in the Cyperaceae family. It is characterized by its spiked
club shaped seedheads, which start green earlier in the season and slowly turn brown. Gray’s
Sedge likes full sun to part shade and can handle wetter soils, making it fit right into a rain
garden. It can also be very useful in erosion control.
