Carex lurida

 

Lurid Sedge is an evergreen perennial in the Cyperaceae family. Although evergreen, it does
appear duller in the hotter months of summer. This sedge prefers full sun to part shade and likes soil that is moist to wet. Being that it prefers wetter soils, that makes it a great addition to rain gardens or used as erosion control.
