Eastern Star Sedge brings refined texture, early-season interest, and natural resilience to the garden — all while thriving in the cool, dappled light of woodland spaces. In spring to early summer, this sedge sends up slender stalks with delicate, star-shaped golden-green flowers that give the plant its common name — “Eastern Star Sedge.” These tiny bursts of light add understated beauty and feed early-season pollinators and beneficial insects. Even after flowering, the plant remains attractive with its soft, arching, bright green blades that bring life and motion to shady beds, borders, and understories.
