Sprengel’s sedge
- Sedges often appear to be grasses at first glance but as a rule, grasses prefer sunny locations with well-drained soils while many (but certainly not all!) sedges and rushes prefer shady, moist locations.
- Most sedges grow in shallow water or moist soils and often form large colonies.
- Stems of sedges are usually triangular and plants send up seed spikes that are not conspicuous.
- Rushes have cylindrical and hollow stem-like leaves. Found in wet or moist sites, there are many sizes and varieties that are often interspersed with sedges.
- Many sedges are very ornamental and beautiful in container gardens and pond settings
- They are useful in establishing vegetation and for both erosion control and water purification in wet areas
