Carex flacca, also known as Blue Sedge or Carex glauca, is a low-growing, mat-forming ornamental grass valued for its soft blue-green foliage and spreading habit.

This grass-like perennial forms a dense ground cover that spreads slowly by non-invasive rhizomes, making it ideal for rock gardens, pathways, borders, and areas that receive light foot traffic.

Carex flacca is deer resistant, bog tolerant, and adaptable to a wide range of garden conditions. It thrives in sun to part shade and prefers moderate to dry moisture levels once established.

Deciduous in colder climates and semi-evergreen in mild regions, the foliage can be cut back to 2–3 inches to encourage fresh new growth. Subtle flowers appear above the foliage and help attract butterflies.

Organically grown and shipped with care—ready to provide soft texture, seasonal color, and durable ground cover in your landscape.
