Resembling small, feathery palms, Carex muskingumensis (Palm Sedge) is a dense, clump-forming sedge boasting numerous tapering, bright green leaves that radiate from lax stems. In late spring, arching flower spikes appear among the foliage. They turn golden brown when ripe and persist throughout the summer. In the fall, the foliage turns a pretty coppery color before going winter dormant. Native to North America, this moisture-loving plant provides long-lasting interest and is a food source for many bird species. It is an excellent choice for a water garden, wetland garden or as a groundcover.
