Carex sprengelii

Long-Beaked Sedge is a wonderful sedge option for home garden landscapes. It keeps to a tidy 2’ in height, has a clump forming growth habit with slender leaves and a decorative seed head that dances and sways in the breeze, making you want to sit and watch it all day long. Small mammals and birds love this sedge for habitat and food once seeds begin to drop in the fall.

Long-Beaked Sedge is a cool season sedge growing in spring and fall weather. It can be drought tolerant, but prefers average soils that might lean towards the moist side. As with many other sedges, Long-Beaked Sedge prefers shade to part-shade.

Also called Sprengle's Sedge.
