Abstract
- This article discusses the growing popularity of sedges, specifically plants in the genus Carex, in gardening. Native sedges are gaining attention for their grasslike foliage and ability to serve as companions to showier perennials. The article provides examples of different combinations of sedges with other plants for various landscape situations, such as wet environments, dry spots, and shady areas. Sedges are praised for their ability to suppress weeds, support wildlife, and create visual interest through their foliage. The article also emphasizes the importance of choosing the right sedge for the specific site and landscape goals. [Extracted from the article]
