Plant Overview

A very attractive broad-leafed sedge. Tufts of arching green leaves and in early summer it bears mid-green flowers, followed by green, star-shaped seedheads.

Popular with flower arrangers.

Named in honor of one of America’s leading botanists of the 19th Century, Asa Gray (1810-1888). Gray’s Sedge is listed as a threatened plant in Massachusetts.

Native to North America where it grows near rivers and in forests. Thrives in wet areas but also seems to be able to cope well in dryer conditions.

Height: 60cm

Common name(s): Gray's Sedge; Mace Sedge.

All our plants are supplied in 9x10cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant. We grow almost everything we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
