Starting in mid-summer and blooming well into fall, this unusual, 15"-tall sedge generates striking, green-tipped, white bracts surrounding bitty flowers. The bract-flower combination looks like bright stars sailing over the tops of tall rushes. The flowers attract insect pollinators, which is unusual for plants in this primarily wind-pollinated family. 

Native to the SE United States and into Texas, this sedge flourishes in moist, loamy soils. If you have a moist or boggy area such as a water feature edge, then this beauty will spread by rhizomes to form a dense colony.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
