A beautiful fine-textured sedge that works in a variety of soils; from moist to dry. Excellent for shoreline restoration and rain garden edges. [Morningskygreenery.com] Its narrow, fine-textured leaves grow in thick clumps, and may naturalize with short rhizomes. This sedge adapts to both dry and wet areas, including difficult dry-shade locations. Use in upper zone of rain gardens, as a lawn alternative or ground cover, or as filler in container plantings. It’s comparable to Pennsylvania Sedge (C. pensylvanica) in having fine foliage and similar cultural requirements. It’s a slower spreader and tends to have a bunchier appearance. [Plantsmap.com] Carex rosea is an elegant green sedge with the 'rosea' colour limited to one small part of its flower. It is a plant with a wide range of moisture tolerance from wet to dry and is valued most as a plant for dry shade. Sometimes it is the simple landscapes that work best for difficult sites. A good example is planting islands of Greater wood rush (Luzula sylvatica) in a groundcover of Carex rosea. [Bluestem.ca]
