Palm Sedge - Carex muskingumensis
 
 
Carex muskingumensis, commonly known as Palm Sedge, is a perennial grass-like plant native to North America. It is noted for its palm-like appearance, with graceful arching leaves that resemble miniature palm fronds. Palm Sedge thrives in moist to wet soils and is often found in marshes, wet meadows, and along stream banks. It prefers partial shade to full sun and is adaptable to a range of soil types. In late spring to early summer, Palm Sedge produces inconspicuous green flowers on upright stems, adding subtle charm to garden landscapes. Growing 1 to 2 feet tall and forming clumps, it provides both ornamental interest and habitat for wildlife. Ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and naturalistic plantings, Palm Sedge enhances biodiversity while offering a unique texture to garden designs.
