Product information
Carex grayi, commonly known as Gray’s sedge, is a clump-forming perennial with slender, arching green leaves forming tidy, upright tussocks. It produces inconspicuous greenish-brown flower spikes in summer that rise slightly above the foliage, providing subtle texture without showy blooms. This species is valued for wetland and pond-edge planting, offering cover for small wildlife and contributing to naturalistic biodiversity. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist soils make it ideal for pond margins, wet meadows, and naturalistic water garden schemes.
