Carex Brunnea (Brown Sedge) is an ornamental grass known for its unique brown-toned foliage, creating a rich contrast in garden beds or as ground cover. The narrow, arching leaves give this sedge a graceful, flowing appearance that complements a variety of garden styles, from naturalistic landscapes to formal plantings. It maintains a compact growth habit and adds texture to both sunny and partially shaded spaces. This hardy sedge is a perfect choice for adding structure to borders, woodland gardens, or water-adjacent areas.
Brown Sedge thrives in well-drained, moist soils and is perfect for areas with moderate moisture levels. It is particularly effective in filling spaces where other plants may struggle, such as under trees or around water features. Its ability to tolerate a range of conditions makes it a versatile addition to any garden.
