Wood's Sedge is the No. 1 Top Performer in the Mt. Cuba Center's research on sedges. Wood's Sedge performed particularly well in the "mowing evaluation" -- developing a dense mat and appropriate as a lawn substitute.
Wood's Sedge often is compared to the popular Pennsylvania Sedge in that they both have graceful, grass-like foliage.
Wood's is "superior," according to Mt. Cuba, because it forms a denser mat and is better at suppressing weeds.
"As a bonus," Mt. Cuba continues, "from April through early May, carpets of straw-colored flowers create an eye-catching display and provide the perfect complement to other spring wildflowers."
