Comments: Carex flacca, syn. C. glauca is commonly known as Blue Sedge or Heath Sedge. It is native to parts of Europe and Africa, but naturalized in areas of North America. Arching blue-green leaves are evergreen in warmer climates. Its a perfect plant for that area where drainage is a problem, but will also grow in average soil with adequate irrigation. Mature height is 8 inches to 10 inches. Carex flacca is deer resistant.
Carex is known to host many butterfly species. Among them are Black Dash and Northern Broken Dash, several skippers such as the Broad-Winged Skipper, Dion Skipper, Dun Skipper, Tawny-edged Skipper, and the Common Wood Nymph butterfly. Host plants provide food and sheltered places for egg-laying.
