Blue Wood Sedge Grass thrives in challenging conditions and adds a vibrant touch of color to an area. The Carex flaccosperma has tall, broad leaves in a bluish-green hue. The foliage grows in a rosette formation and gently arches, giving the plant a full, mounded appearance. Subtle greenish-white flowers bloom in the spring, but this leafy plant is primarily grown for its foliage.
Use this sedge grass as a groundcover or introduce color and texture into a mixed bed. This plant needs moist conditions, and it does very well in wetlands or on the bank of a stream or body of water. Blue Wood Sedge Grass is a clump-forming plant that is low-maintenance and deer-resistant. Grow this plant as a perennial in USDA zones 5 through 8.
Blue Wood Sedge Grass Care
This leafy perennial needs full sun to partial shade. Rich, moist soil that promotes drainage is best. This sedge prefers damp conditions and may not need water often when grown in a naturally wet area. Wait until the top few inches of the soil are dry to water.
Sedge is not a heavy feeder, but feeding this plant with a balanced fertilizer will support plenty of growth each spring. Blue Wood Sedge Grass is an evergreen plant in warmer areas, but the foliage will die back in cold climates. Remove damaged growth at any time.
Blue Wood Sedge Grass Spacing
Blue Wood Sedge Grass is an ornamental sedge with an upright growth habit that will reach 6 to 12 inches tall and spread just as wide. This clump-forming plant can be spaced as close as 8 to 10 inches when creating a continuous planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
