Very narrow blades in shades of green arch gracefully on this North American native sedge. In mid to late spring small, star-shaped green flowers appear above a dense clump of finely textured foliage. Flowers are followed by green seed heads, each with a tiny rose-colored dot. Evergreen plants thrive in a wide range of soils, making an effective groundcover or accent for rock gardens, pond edges, or dry shade under trees.
