Carex rosea is named after the slight, rose tint to the seedhead.  This handy little sedge can handle just about any spot, even dry shade and medium-wet spots, as long as it gets at least some protection from the sun.

 

Its leaves are deep green and mostly evergreen, and star-shaped flower spikes pop above the foliage in late spring.  Rose Sedge is a cool-season plant and grows most robustly in the spring and fall.

 

AKA Curly-styled Wood Sedge

 

Rose sedge makes a great landscape plant at the wood's edge or in dappled shade.
